In the United States more 60% of women who are married and have children under the age of 18 work as well as 73% of single women. With that being said, women must consider many factors that might affect their work life balance.
As a business owner and mom of a three year old, I had no idea that my life would be so hectic. Managing the pressures from balancing multiple priorities can at times be overwhelming. I was excited to view Smart Money's article that highlights states that take the demands of women into consideration.
According to Smart Money there are certain states that through policies and resources, help women balance the task of wearing multiple hats, including that of mom and employee. The report found 10 states that did extremely well in helping women. Factors reviewed included maternity leave time, cost of child care, salary, unemployment, and access to early childhood education among others.
