Hooray for Family-Friendly Companies

I have survivor’s guilt as I watch talented friends lose their jobs. But I applaud the businesses that realize this is the most critical time to support working families.

I don’t know a single company in this country that hasn’t had to make cuts, both in staff and operating budgets, to survive this historic economic crisis.

Working Moms' Nation

Women make up just over half the workforce in America and almost 70 percent of women with children work. Men in two-earner families know that women are not working for "pin" money. Many of us work because we have focused on a career all our adult lives and make our contribution to the world around us through our work and our earning power.   Many of us work because we support our families as co-breadwinners or as sole breadwinners. These are working mother stories.  We juggle and ask for or seek flexible work arrangements.
