Survey: Stay-At-Home Moms Get 3% Raise in 2007
The survey of about 40,000 mothers found that the time mothers spend performing 10 job functions in 2007 is a 3% increase over last year’s salary of $134,121 (See Report: Stay at Home Moms Due 2% Raise), but still below employers’ prediction of 3.9% in annual pay increases.
