Women on a visa who work are happy

Aussie women work more than US women, a new study has revealed.

For the first time since records began, Australian woman have overtaken US women as the more likely nationality to be working.

In the past, US women were more likely to be employed than their Australian counterparts. Statistics, quoted from The Australian news site, state that a decade ago “gap was 7.2 percentage points in favour of the US, with 57.4 per cent of American women in jobs compared with just 50.2 per cent of Australian women.”

Recent initiatives to get mothers back to work earlier after childbirth has helped prompt Australia’s rise in female workers. In 2008, a report by the Productivity Commission showed one in six mothers are going back to work before their babies are even three months old.

So, congratulations to the historically work shy Sheila’s for finally getting their fingers out!

Another new study has revealed that women who are living and working abroad on a work visa are happier than women who hold visas and play the ‘trailing spouse.’

The survey shows that 81% of women working overseas who were interviewed claimed to be happy, while only 24% of women without work could boast the same.

Just goes to show, that moving abroad on a work visa and mixing business with pleasure can be the ultimate recipe for satisfaction.
