Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
WASHINGTON, July 12 (UPI) -- U.S. working mothers prefer part-time jobs to staying home or full-time work, a study released Thursday said.
About 60 percent of mothers said work with limited hours was best because it allowed them to be employed while staying closely involved with the lives of their children. The responses came in a survey of 414 mothers, a subset of a larger Pew Research Center national survey on the societal impact of an increasing number of working mothers which involved 2027 men and women. But only a quarter of the mothers actually work part time, the Washington Post reported, citing Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers.
The desire to work fewer hours could reflect the more family-centered views of the post-baby boom generation, the Post said.
The survey also reveals a growing opinion gap between working mothers and those who stay at home, USA Today said.
Forty-four percent of stay-at-home mothers said the increasing number of working moms is negative, while 34 percent of working mothers said the trend is positive.
