$134,121

Women deserve a raise. According to salary.com, a full-time stay-at-home mom would earn $134,121 if only she were paid for her work.

n the spirit of Mother's Day, it's appropriate to contemplate the undervalued contribution of stay-at-home moms. Even salary.com's list of job responsibilities overlooks several roles they assume: They are first-line-of-defense law enforcement officers, protecting children with their presence in our neighborhoods. They are teaching assistants, manning the field trips and fundraisers that help keep our schools running. They are the good Samaritans who make communities work, assuring that the elderly neighbor's walk is shoveled and that the dog running down the street is safely returned to his owner.

It's an interesting exercise to calculate the cost of replacing these women with hired help, but it shouldn't be taken too far. In reality, a job posting offering $134,000 to fill the duties of a housewife would be flooded with resumes. Of course, few families could pay that salary. Supply and demand ultimately would meet at a sum close to what's typically earned by a live-in nanny or housekeeper.

Salary.com ignores the important question of who would pay this salary. The study claims that the average housewife spends 4.2 hours a week acting as a CEO. The hourly rate for a CEO is $176.44 per hour; therefore the housewife CEO ought to receive almost $36,000 for her CEO duties. She's also supposed to receive nearly $11,000 for being a housekeeper, $3,000 for being a "van driver," and $11,500 for being a facilities manager.
