Wonder Women: Working moms balance home, lives and careers

The life of a working mother is often a battle to fulfill the role of a mom while balancing the challenges of a professional career.

Mothers in Texas aren’t receiving a break either. Texas ranks as one of the worst states for working mothers, according to a new study by personal finance company Wallethub. The study ranked Texas 43rd overall. 

“Texas moms do seem to be struggling with maintaining a work/life balance and one of the reasons for that is the fact that they work longer hours,” said Jill Gonzalez, a Wallethub analyst. “A woman’s workweek in Texas is about 37 hours, the third longest in the country.”
