Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America

Can you think of other job characteristics that would be associated with higher or lower wages?

What is meant by the term "mother's hours," a "benefit" offered by the maid service
in Maine? Is this job trait likely to raise wages, lower wages, or leave wages
unaffected? Should we think of this as a benefit? Can you think of other job
characteristics that would be associated with higher or lower wages?

Mother's hours would allow mothers to work while their children are in school, within the boundaries of the hours provided by daycare, or even within the boundaries of the hours the mother could acquire a babysitter. The rest of your question calls for your personal opinion.
