Women's love-hate work issues studied
American women don't love their jobs – but they sure don't want to lose them, a new poll shows.
A survey of nearly 4,000 women, conducted by Woman's Day and AOL Living, found that 67% of American women would change what they do "in a heartbeat."
Another 79% said "no way" would they want their kids to follow in their footsteps.
But at the same time, nearly two of three women are worried about getting laid off – and just as many would work longer hours just to keep their paychecks.
I, for one, am stunned — stunned! — that women think and feel this way. It's like they're stuck in this shitty economy the same as everyone else, where by "everyone else" I mean "men"! I am so glad I read the news; how else would I have learned this? By talking to women as though they're real people? That's crazy talk. A survey was the only way to acquire this information.
I am expecting the next article to be about how a survey of nearly four! thousand! American women shows that 63% of them like to sleep in. The mysterious inner lives of women, revealed!
