ROSEVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Being a mom is one of the most difficult jobs in the world—and she doesn’t even earn a paycheck. If she did earn a salary, though, how much would her services be worth?
As it turns out, mom is worth her weight in gold.
In honor of Mother’s Day, WholesaleInsurance.net, a top online provider of life insurance quotes, has launched a Mother’s Day campaign to raise awareness of the tremendous financial contribution mothers provide.
Today, most mothers work outside the home. Women now make up 49 percent of the U.S. labor force, and 26 percent are breadwinners, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Unfortunately, life insurance ownership hasn’t kept pace, as 43 percent of women have no life insurance.
The problem? Too many families mistakenly believe that women don’t need life insurance, especially if they don’t work outside of the home.
But America’s 5 million stay-at-home moms provide extremely valuable services, too. Factoring in cooking, childcare, cleaning, laundry and driving, one estimate places the annual value of a stay-at-home mom at $94,700.
With Mother’s Day right around the corner—Sunday, May 13—there’s no better time for mothers everywhere to take charge of their family’s financial stability by buying life insurance.
