According to a recent study, full-time stay-at-home moms should be earning over $134,000 per year:

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A full-time stay-at-home mother would earn $134,121 a year if paid for all her work, an amount similar to a top U.S. ad executive, a marketing director or a judge, according to a study released Wednesday…

Employed mothers reported spending on average 44 hours a week at their outside job and 49.8 hours at their home job, while the stay-at-home mother worked 91.6 hours a week, it showed.

According to the story, about 5.6 million mothers stay home with their children. So if they all were paid $134,121 annually, that would add $751 billion to the national economy (6.05% to the GDP).  My only question: who’s cutting the checks and where do we get in line?
