One highly sought after compromise for educated women looking to return to work and still be engaged with the family is to find a job that allows for telecommuting or flex-time. Modern technology has made these type of arrangements not only possible, but very attractive to both women and employers. Women can balance their work and family life, while employers can reduce office space and equipment costs. And we all save on greenhouse gases. It’s a win/win/win all the way around.

Flexible Work for Professional Women
This recession truly represents a chance for women to change the stats. When women hit the workforce during WWI, it created a magnificent, lasting change in workforce demographics. A return of stay-at-home moms to the workplace is an asset to every company who hires them and to our economy, as stay-at-home moms (yes, I was one) are significantly adept at prioritizing, organizing and multitasking to a much greater degree than other workers. It’s like hiring 2 workers for the price of one. And I would argue that their efficiency and capability advances exponentially with the more kids they have!
For those moms looking to get back in the workforce, choice now abounds, whether to join a corporate entity, work from home, or to start their own business… there’s never been a better time.
