Coincidentally, this is the very day that one of the top stories on Swiss broadsheet Tages Anzeiger is about how more people would like to work part-time, but can't because of family commitments: https://www.tagesanzeiger.ch/sonntagszeitung/nur-8-prozent-der-eltern-wollen-vollzeit-arbeiten/story/11662472 https://www.tagesanzeiger.ch/sonntagszeitung/nur-8-prozent-d...
EDIT: to quote for example "Rund drei Viertel der Eltern mit Vollzeitjob geben das höhere Einkommen als wichtigen Grund für ihr Arbeitspensum an."
Three quarters of parents with full-time jobs said the higher income was an important reason for their full-time work.
Later on it discusses the cost of living and of childcare for a family.
EDIT2: I don't know if it's deliberate that Vox put a video of "Why we should all move to SWEDEN" at the bottom, but I certainly chuckled.
- erikpukinskis 7y agoThat seems fine to me? The point of part time work is that you can choose between money or time. In the US there is no choice, generally speaking, as a coder. You can get $120k for 40 hours, but there aren’t many $60k for 20 hours jobs available. You have to freelance basically which is 3 years up front hustle.
