In the 1980s, the National Center on Women and Family Law found that the skills housewives use every day are comparable to those of the highly qualified and highly paid managers in the corporate world. If they were paid according to their skill level, they would have earned more than $60,000 per year in the 1980s (Crittendon, 2001) or between $110,000 and $150,000 today.
