Question:Did you know 60% of mothers work outside the home?

It's an American statistic, not a global one, but with today’s cost of living, dual-income families are more popular than ever. In fact, about 60% of all mothers work outside the home.

That's in contrast to the 1950s and early-1960s, when it was uncommon for women with children under the age of six to work outside the home.

Talk about change!

Answer:

Interesting, isn't it, that it's what the majority does yet it's still classified as "odd" behavior. Why is it that women always have to choose work or family?
