We found an interesting piece from 2006 that starts out:
“Now that jobs aren’t as scarce as they were just a few years ago, a lot of workers are sitting back and assessing just how happy they are in their current positions. And a big part of their decision will center around whether they have a balance between their work lives and their home lives.”
Is the situation really all that different today? As we face an unsteady economy, are we so grateful just to have a job — even one that demands so much of our time — that we are more willing to accept being less satisfied with our lives? How might this be detrimental for women?
