Suppose two married women get jobs outside the home at the same time, forcing their husbands to hire someone to do the cooking, cleaning, and childcare. Ten hours/day, 5 days/week, at $20/hr. It’s a lot to afford, but the men have so-called ‘breadwinner’ salaries.
Suppose it turns out that Emma is hired by Alyssa’s husband (on Alyssa’s recommendation) and Alyssa is hired by Emma’s husband (on Emma’s recommendation).
And they’re both really enjoying their evenings off and their $52,000/yr incomes.
