Mom's Salary Value Reaches $184K As Pandemic Workload Skyrockets According to a Salary.com Survey of 19,000 MothersWALTHAM, Mass., May 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The rigor of a stay-at-home mother's job came into sharp focus during the pandemic, with median time worked reaching 106 hours per week and a fair market salary equivalent of $184,820, according to new data from Salary.com, the compensation solution provider of the trusted data and intuitive software needed to get pay right. Salary.com surveyed over 19,000 mothers since the start of the pandemic. The most time-consuming and expanded roles were Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Chief Operating Officer (the role that makes sure everyone else is following the plan), which more than doubled to account for 20+ hours per week. "It's fitting that their salary value continues to rise, nearing the upper echelons of Corporate America." "We saw that mothers spent considerable time managing financial concerns and organizing the schooling of their family during the height of the pandemic," said Lenna Turner, Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for Salary.com. Other notable findings include:
"In a year like no other, moms went to extraordinary lengths to keep things together on the home front, working, on average, 15.1 hours per day, seven days a week," said Mary Crogan, Vice President of Marketing at Salary.com. "That's an incredible workload, and one that encompasses everything from C-level responsibilities, to help desk manager, to teacher. It's fitting that their salary value continues to rise, nearing the upper echelons of Corporate America." "The dramatic increase in average hours worked per week could have resulted in even higher pay, but some of that increased workload was dedicated to lower compensated roles," stated Salary.com CEO, Kent Plunkett. "We applaud the heroic efforts of mothers everywhere to guide their families through the pandemic. 'Thanks Mom!' might be the understatement of the year, but it's a good place to start."
