Michelle Obama, Others Speak On Being Working Moms

Sunday is Mother’s Day, a day when people all over America reflect on motherhood and what it means to them. In fact, 70% of mothers with children under 18 participate in the labor force, with more than 75% of them being employed full-time, according to the Department of Labor.

Former First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama:

“For me, being a mother made me a better professional, because coming home every night to my girls reminded me what I was working for. And being a professional made me a better mother, because by pursuing my dreams, I was modeling for my girls how to pursue their dreams.”
