stay at home mom - a $134k job

[econophile]

A study by Salay.com about what stay at home moms are worth has been getting some press today. They estimate that it would cost $134k per year to hire someone to be a stay at home mom. You can read the full story here (link). A lot of the assumptions and methods are pretty bad, but the study is probably just done for publicity.

edit: that link describes last year's estimate. this year's estimate is $138k.
