Question

Share your opinions about work life in the United States today and how it is affecting family life. How do you want to handle work-life balance? (not psychology but closest subject)

Answer 1

Today women are the primary breadwinners in 40 percent of U.S. households today. Most of the families have women as the primary earner because they are the only earner. This creates a lot of stress both at work and at home because women have to do the second shift as well i.e. the home chores. Apart from the hire and fire policy makes the work very stressful. Family life is severely affected by the stress that is generated due to work and families are falling apart. Once divorced women take care of their kids and family and as single moms life is very stressful as they are the sole breadwinners. We can handle work-life balance by going for work from home i.e. virtual jobs so that as women we can manage both our homes and job. If this is not possible we should go for jobs where we work in the day shift and our spouses work in the night or vice versa.
