What is a mom's work worth?

Posted: Monday, May 04, 2009 3:35 PM by Daily Nightly Editor

By Jay Blackman, NBC News producer

They say it's the small things, but when it comes to mothers, the small things really do add up. Whether it's driving to karate, making doctor appointments, or paying the bills, Mom's job is never done--and she does it all for free.

For the ninth year in a row, compensation experts at Massachusetts-based Salary.com have figured out just what mom's time is really worth. They take the top ten jobs mom does--from van driver to cook to laundry machine operator--and calculate the value of the job how much time a mother spends on it and how much you would have to pay if you hired someone to do all that work. The average stay -at-home mom works a 40-hour work week, plus an additional 56 hours of overtime, while the working mom works 40 hours a week for her employer, 40 hours a week at home and puts in another 17 hours in overtime.

Researchers say the downturn in the economy also means more work for mom. Their survey has found that jobs that used to be outsourced are increasingly being added to mom's to-do list to save money.

Salary.com has a calculator on their website at mom.salary.com which allows you or mom to figure out how much her yearly salary would be. So when you see Mom on Mother's Day, give her a little bigger hug. She deserves it.

IVE NOTICED EVERY YEAR A STORY ABOUT HOW MUCH A MOM IS WORTH SALARY WISE, BUT IVE NEVER SEEN A STORY ABOUT HOW
MUCH A DAD IS WORTH WITH ALL THEY DO AROUND A HOUSE.
PLEASE UNDO THIS INJUSTICE. FATHER"S DAY IS APPROACHING ALSO

Good to know a "stay at home" Mom is worth more than me! Give me a break! I'm not taking anything away from a stay at home Mom, but don't say she is worth more than I - a Mom who does it all. I work full time and do all that a "stay at home" Mom does. I really think this piece done in bad taste because who can really put a price tag on loving your children and taking care of your family whether you work outside the home or not? My "salary" comes from the smile on my childrens' faces, my husband's full belly from a good dinner, and yes a hamper full of laundry. I do things that you can't put a price tag on - I'm helping to gear up our next generation! Lets stop putting a "price tag" on everything - some times you simply can't tag.

I guess it's a slow news night! "What is a mom's work worth"? Where is her husband? Does she regret having kids? doesn't she expect working when she is thinking about having kids? why is she making the beds? When I was a kid, I had to make my own bed. how about some real news? How about the war in Iraq?what is happening about the piracy problem in Africa?

I have to wonder how much a man would make to mow the lawn, trim the hedges, clear the snow and ice in winter, not to mention the painting, plumbing and other jobs men do around the house for which the receive no compensation. This kind of story really bothers me because it appears as if men really don't count, at least not at NBC news.

I was puzzled by the amount of money a stay-at-home mom would "earn" (almost $123,000) versus what the working mom would "earn" ($76,000). The amount of money a mom "earns" should be the same regardless of whether they work outside the home because of the various situations/variables that need to be considered. As a single, working mom who used to stay at home, my job as become increasingly more challenging. I still do ALL the same "stuff" I did as a stay-at-home mom, but now I have/choose to work. I don't have the money to hire out to get help around the house like many stay-at-home moms I know. Many stay-at-home moms I know have the luxury of a nannny, a maid, handy-man, and landscaper. So, why would they earn more money when many of them do less than their counterparts. Although, there are many moms who stay at home and do all this "stuff" too, keep in mind, they have ALL day to do it! I just feel that the amount I was "earning" was VERY underestimated/undervalued when compared with a stay-at-home mom.

On the eve of our 24th wedding anniversary. I have to say my wife enjoyed the report on "What are Mom's worth". I have been out of work for 5 months and before she heads off to her part time job she leaves me a list: empty dishwasher, put the clothes in the dryer, vaccum, etc...I'm ready to go back to work. She get's up at 5 everyday to get our two handicap boy's out the door and off to school. I have to agree Mom's don't get paid enough. I can see why she is exhausted by the end of the day. I hope when Father's day roll's around you do a report on "What are Dad's worth".

Tim DeLarber, St. Louis, Missouri (Sent Monday, May 04, 2009 7:15 PM)

I am terribly offended that stories like this only mention "Mom." I am a working Dad taking care of two young boys, 7 and 9. I am a single divorced Father that has taken care of both of my sons since birth. I was a stay at home Dad for quite some time, then as my sons got older I ventured out to work, and also began finishing my Bachelor's degree in what little spare time I could carve out. Mom was focused on her career and moved away when I received full custody of the boys many years ago. I do everything that was mentioned in the story that was just aired, plus I coach my son's sports teams and volunteer at their school several times a week. I do more than a lot of Moms do, and all I ever hear is how great Moms are. There are a lot of awesome Dad's out there too, and I think it's about time we start recognizing them as well. Nothing against Mothers at all, as I have an exceptional mother that taught me well, but I also have a great Dad who taught me just as many wonderful lessons. I pride myself in being a very good parent because of what I learned from BOTH my Mother and my Father. Please don't leave Dad's out when you do stories like this. A Father's efforts are just as valuable as any Mother. I wouldn't be nearly as upset, but there was not a single reference to Fathers anywhere in your story. Your report basically infers that Dads bring nothing to the table as far as the family is concerned, and that is a grievous error.

As a fulltime father with a fulltime plus job,I take exception to this segment, partly because I have never, ever, seen a segment near fathers' day extolling the hard work and value of the majority of fathers like myself who just take care of their families.
The women highlighted in the segment should be praised for her dedication and hard work but how can she afford that home on a teachers aides salary. Where is the father? How does the $122,000 salary relate to the women making $10 an hour. Should they now feel angry,depressed at being so underappreciated.
I believe the piece was meant to be positive by underscoring the value of the women and mothers in our society but this superficial rerun year after year gives neither mothers or fathers the due respect a credible broadcast like yours should give them.

I to appreciate all my wife does around home and she should be recognized - especially for Mothers Day. As stated above - I have never seen anything on Dads. Im my case, I maintain the vehicles, plumbing, electrical, appliances, house repairs, landscaping and the like. Jointly - we both save money for the household budget.

Norm, Oklahoma City (Sent Monday, May 04, 2009 7:23 PM)

What was said about pay is true; however there is value in every form of work. Cutting grass, $40.00 +. Changing oil in the car $25.00 +, Painting the house $1.000.00 +. Fixing light switches $75.00 +. Fixing appliances $100.00 +. The list goes on. If you’re going to have a calculator make sure it calculates everything. I suggest you make a spread sheet and list everything that is done and list who doe’s what. maybe then you will have a more accurate scenario of what the truth is. Make sure you include the hours worked on the job weekly. Single parents have a bigger burden because they have to do it all. We all think were worth more and in most cases we are. The fact is; if we have a job right now were doing OK.

Why is there always a story about how much Mom's are worth, but never how much Dad's are worth? My wife works nights as a nurse. I have to take care of the kids, wash them before bed, and get them off to school, day care, etc the next morning. There is also the yard work that needs to be done around the house. I also cook on weekends as well as take care of the finances. There is also the painting, and the "honey do" items that seem to always be forgotten in your special reports. I think the "honey do" items would probably cost us around $50K a year if we paid someone on the outside. Mom's are important, but somewhere in that report, you missed the Dad.

Peter K, Glenmoore, PA (Sent Monday, May 04, 2009 8:53 PM)

I agree with Mr. Hampsted. Why is "Mom" predominately the subject of various articles on NBC? How about Dad who has a job, changes the oil, washes the car, repairs the plumbing etc. etc. It also seems you feature articles that highlight what various things are being done to assist young women in education and other endeavors. What is being done to help males in this world? Maybe you should balance your reporting.

Diane, Newport Beach CA (Sent Monday, May 04, 2009 9:57 PM)

I am a stay at home mom and I do not ask for compensation for the job I do because I do it for my family. Yes, today's dads are undervalued because they do alot more with household chores, cooking, and kids than what was expected of dads in the past. I have alot of respect for moms who are married or single and have to work outside the home. I used to work outside the home and it is not easy working two full time jobs. I really hate it when people put a monetary value on a stay at home mom. Because I stay home my family does not go on fancy vacations, we live on a strict budget, and I am the nanny, maid, and the professional landscaper. There are some women I know that can afford those things but the majority of the stay at home moms I know do not have such luxuries. I and alot of my friends do not sit at home and watch the boob tube all day, we are active in the PTA, volunteer for girl and boy scouts, help with community needs. I believe people do not stop and think about the things in the schools and communities that would be missed, if parents such as myself did not take the time to get them done. I believe that everyone in our society is undervalued because we all do more than work, go home, eat, and watch TV.

It's amazing how much 'stay at home' mother is actually worth! I stay at home all day with my 2 girls, one 6 and the other just 1. It is hard work. And for all of those who think that we sit around all day and eat bon bons and watch SOAPS all day, try it. You have to clean, cook, activites, laundary, outside work, bills, teacher, change diapers, prepare healthy night meal, pick up from school, homework, bath, and bedtime. It is hard work for any stay at home mother/father. We don't do what people/others think we do. Sometimes there isn't time for ourselves or alone time. Thank you for this lovely "fake check". I will be hanging it on my fridge for everyone to appreciate what I do for a living:my family.

Morgan Thomson, Odebolt, Iowa (Sent Monday, May 04, 2009 10:33 PM)

As a mom, it might be, at first, flattering that there is a movement to quantify what stay-at-home mom's do. However, beware that this is a veiled attempt at influencing young girls to give up on education, and set low goals for themselves. First flattery, then subjugation. This is a slippery slope towards a Taliban-like treatment of women--flatter them by putting incentives to keep them at home, and uneducated. I also find it offensive that Dads don't get credit in your report and in such movements for stay at home moms. We should not put a price on parenthood.

K. Martin, Columbus OH (Sent Monday, May 04, 2009 10:51 PM)

It was interesting to see a dollar amount put to some household responsibilities, however I must admit it's a little disheartening to have it be a 'mother's' pay rather than a parents pay. My husband is very much involved in our daughters upbringing and it's sad that societal stigmas won't allow this to be the 'norm', or a standard expectation. I work hard for the family, but so does he.

Nekoma, Indianapolis, IN (Sent Monday, May 04, 2009 10:51 PM)

I stay at home, and my calculated salary was $223K. However, it really wouldn't even begin to cover what i DO on a daily basis. Not to mention that no one would pay me that much to care fo their children. Nor would I pay anyone that much to do it for me, as staying at home is the ultimate sacrifice and the benefits are priceless.

I do agree that if anyone is going to do this for moms they should also consider what dads do, and their worth. This shouldn't be about trying to be equal to men, who earn an income, since staying at home is a choice with endless benefits. If you could make as much (or more) as your husband, would you rather he stay home instead of you? Everyone works hard, just because moms' work is exhausting, doesn't mean that men are worth less. Afterall, would we be able to stay home without our husbands?

On average, most women do more then men. Of course there are exceptions. And stay at home Mom's do work harder than working Mom's as a whole. I have talked to many mother's who were at home and then went to work and said that working outside of the home was much easier than staying home. I think its great that home-makers are getting some well deserved recognition. Their job usually goes unrecognized and unappreciated.

Only the old guys live in the pass when things were said to be a woman's job. Men have become just as responsible for all jobs. Notice how clost we were to having a female President.

Time for NBC to make the change and up grade their Salary Worth survey to include men. I raised my sons and daughters equal.

This is the dumbest thing MSNBC has ever published. You are worth what the market value of your services is. Considering that the average income is around $50,000 per household, how does a stay at home mom "earn" double the average? If "stay at home mom" was actually a career that would average $125,000 dads would take care of the kids while moms did these jobs for other people.

Please get back to what MSNBC excels at - slamming the conservative right and blaming all our troubles on Republicans.

Once again, an absolute slap to the face of every working mother, who by the way, still does the laundry and everything else mentioned in the article. My wife is an RN who still does everything a stay at home mother does, so why not give the same imaginary pay to her. What about the fathers, who by the way still raise the children, mow the grass, help around the house and do all of the things that good PARENTS do. I'm so tired of the crap that NBC puts in our faces day after day after day. I'm one of the men who's married to one of the women who keep the money flowing into the IRS (taxes) and still finds time to raise children at the same time. I'm fed up with these BS stories about someone who has the luxury to stay at home. Cry me a river with your anti working mother and anti men stories. I'm washing my hands of you NBC.

I'm a working mother of 2 small children. I do majority of the things mentioned in this story, but my husband does an equal amount of work at home while also excelling in his career. With Father's Day approaching I hope NBC broadcasts a story on what a father is worth. He, as well as many dads I'm sure, does the yard work, is the handy man, takes care of the cars, handles the finances, is the master griller, helps with the dishes & laundry and helps take care of the children (and I'm sure much more). So, in June, please do the dad's a justice by airing a special on what a Father is worth.

Please do a segment on how much Dad is worth for Father's Day. My husband would like to know how much he is worth, since he too does a lot of work outside his reg FT job.

As a FT working mother, I too do a significant amount of work around the house, after I've already put in 8-10 hrs at work. As working mother's and father's in a 2 income household, we actually have to become a much better planner and time management because we do not have the luxury of during our errands to go to Target or Walmart @ 10am.

I know other stay at home mom's who for some reason does not have enough time in a day to do their chores. What would these stay at home mom do if they actually had to get a job? I dont think enough credit is given to single mom's and a working family.
Perhaps a segment should be done on exactly what we have to do in order to get our chores done around the house.

Commenters who wonder where the male side is should realize that NBC is pro-female, often to the extent of being anti-male. It is staffed by many feminists, female AND male, who simply do not care about men. The belief among many of them is that men have no problems but ARE a problem for women. The male view will be considered only after men in huge number protest. Are you ready to do that? If not, don't bother complaining to NBC.

Money will be tight and I will carry the brunt of the housework...it will definitely be less rewarding monetarily and not as glamorous as my job. It is a sacrifice and I think that is why they do stories like this... to give stay home moms (and Dads!) some recognition in a society that values jobs and wealth.

I do not have a partner to "watch" them while I get time to myself. I am up in the middle of the night when she is sick or doesn't want to be alone, and I don't get to take turns with anyone so I can catch up on some rest. I make her fresh foods daily, including breakfast. I don't just drop her off at daycare & let them feed her their unhealthy junk, I send her with my own food so that she grows up healthy. I run the whole household, and do not have a man to help me out... unless I hire one when there is a plumbing issue or something that I cannot do myself. And I have to make enough money so that I can pay for all this plus have health insurance. With all the complaining that others have done on here, please give credit where credit is due... to the single working mothers... most of whom would not want to be single, or working if they had a choice for their child's sake. I would love to not have to pay a stranger to raise my child all day while I work to pay the bills. And the men who are complaining should be ashamed of yourselves.... there are a million articles already written on how women make 75 or so cents for every dollar a man makes, and she still does more on a daily basis than you do, so quit whining, learn a little humility, & give credit where credit is due!

IF PEOPLE WOULD PAY ATTENTION TO THE ARTICLE, when you click on the link for the salary calculator, AT THE BOTTOM OF THE IMAGE, is a link titled "What about Dad?" it takes you to the Dad calculator. And at the bottom of the Dad calculator, is the same link back to Mom's calculator. The story is posted in honor of Mother's Day this weekend, and will probably be refocused for Father's Day next month. Your comments are truly indicitave of people that don't pay attention to the details or the overall statement that the article was trying to give...that someone who has mathematical formulary capabilities has come up with a calculator to determine the worth of what parents COULD hire others to do (if they could afford it), and yet there are still things that are priceless...like when your child draws you a beautiful picture of the family through their eyes, or kisses you goodnight, or gives a random hug because they wanted to. Being a parent is the most rewarding job in the world, and at the same time, the hardest and most underappreciated. Seeing a calculator that tells me what I COULD be paid in my area for the things I commonly take for granted to be "just part of parenting" makes me feel appreciated by the working community standards...and the overall annual amount from the calculator shows that a Stay-at-home-mom is recognized as a profession not to be cast-aside as "poor". Considering the current economy and market-values of things though, I'll take kisses from my children and husband as payment anyday, because their worth increases as each minute goes by, for you can never have that minute back.
