May 2007 No Price Too High Ministry Opportunity Vacation Plans Memorial Service	No Price too High! Proverbs tells us that a wife of noble character is worth far more than rubies. Focus on the Family’s recent Pastor briefing says today’s mom deserves a raise: Stay-at-Home Moms May Deserve a Raise The annual Mom salary for 2007 has seen a three percent increase over 2006. This year, stay-at-home moms provide a savings — or earn — $138,095. Salary.com, a service that tallies average salaries by occupation, surveyed 40,000 mothers to determine the time they spend performing 10 typical job functions, such as day-care teacher, cook, housekeeper and taxi driver. The average pay for those jobs, if someone else were hired for them, equaled $138,095 when you include overtime pay, according to fortwayne.com.
