So why the new forum? Just read our new article “Going Back to Work - Moms Finding Resistance When Returning.” Stepping off the career fast track for women is easy…what’s not so easy is getting back on. According to a recent survey, many women who leave the workforce to raise a family find it very difficult to come back to a job comparable to the one they left. Although they leave for relatively short periods of time, women suffer heavy consequences when they return. Data from the survey showed that on average women lost 28% of their earning power when they returned (after 2.2 years) and those who spent three or more years out of the workforce lost an astonishing 37% of their earning power…more about the article.

I came across this website today as I was doing my usual searching for jobs. I am in my 40s and have spent the last five years on a quest for meaningful work, requiring some flexibility, and decent pay. I had no idea that I would be searching this long. I am a teacher. I have taught elementary school and have worked full time and spent the last eight years substituting. I never would have dreamed that finding permament work would be so difficult. So I look forward to hearing more from this website. If you need help (it looks like nothing has been happening for while), let me know!
