Gender Chores

The Friday File: According to a recent Bureau of Labor Statistics study, married full-time working childless women work 8 minutes more a day than their full-time working spouses if you include both office and housework. For similar couples with children under 18, the gap grows to 20 minutes a day. Turns out men do less housework (but it’s growing) than women but put in more time at the office (but it’s declining) than their wives.
