IF stay-at-home mums were paid in cold, hard cash, they would receive an annual salary of $124,000, according to a new study. The eighth annual survey of mothers’ market value, by Salary.com, a US firm that studies workplace compensation, calculated their worth by studying pay levels for 10 job titles with duties that a typical mother performed.

 Some of these job titles include housekeeper, CEO and counsellor.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if this was reality and all mums were paid their market place worth!
