the census bureau, and salary.com.
i found this in the local paper today, and granted, its in the dear abbey section, i found the information she gave was very interesting and pertained to a lot of questions in another thread.

"According to the Census Bureau figures for 2004 — which are the most recent — there are 36.7 million mothers of minor children in the United States. About one-third of them, 10.8 million, are stay-at-home moms.
According to an article penned by Al Neuharth, the founder of USA Today, in its May 11, 2006, edition, “Salary.com compensation experts estimate that stay-at-home moms work an average of 91.6 hours a week.” That's more than double the number of hours the average office worker puts in. He went on to say, “That should be worth $134,121 annually.”
He quoted the compensation analysts as figuring the lowest-paying parts of a mother's job are “housekeeper, laundry machine operator and janitor. Higher-paying categories include computer operator, facilities manager, psychologist and CEO.” With a 91.6-hour work week, 52 weeks a year, it works out to be $28.16 an hour."

"I'm sure we can all find well to do people who don't "dress to impress"....but aren't they the exception?"
Frankly, no, not in my experience.

Are you seriously asking this question?

I never said it was right or wrong. The point is that people do judge others on how they look.
Knowing that you do with it what you want. You either go with it or you don't. It's a personal choice. I know that if my kids were going to an interview I'd tell them to leave the baggy clothes and black makeup at home.
Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of charming teens out there in the baggy jeans or goth look....problem is if they are meeting someone for the first time....that person MAY get the wrong impression.
Never said it was right or wrong....just a fact of life.
