How do you think the economy will affect decisions by women to stay at home versus work? With so many people losing jobs, do you think more women will be forced back into a job to help out (or take over) family finances? Is SAH parenting

Isn't their town motto, "Hey, at least we're not in Illinois!"?

What about the hundreds of thousands of people laid off since August '08 and collecting unemployment for at least a year?

Plus on Iowa's "Eastern Shore" there's Happy Joe's Pizza and Whitey's Ice Cream :)

(This was a stoopid track for me to take. Now I want a taco pizza...)

If these laid off people "look but cannot find" another job then they haven't chosen to SAH. They have been forced to by high unemployment. Yet again, you miss that that it's all about choice vs. forced.
