I've written a lot of articles for stay-at-home moms who were interested in returning to the workforce when their kids entered school. Most were written before our economy tanked.
Lately, a lot of moms have been talking about having to return to work. Of course, now the market is worse than ever, and many of these moms have resumes that are a bit ...dated. Plus, for moms who still have young kids at home, opportunities are even more limited. Jobs are paying less, meaning daycare is going to take a big chunk of the check.
Anyway, I've been reviewing these articles and started researching some of the recent stats. I also contacted recruiters and career specialists, particularly ones that specialize in moms reentering the workforce.
Rather than bore everybody with non-parenting stuff, I'm putting some of this info on other sites.
If you're looking for career info/part-time updates/work-at-home tips and warnings/or you've been thinking about starting a small business here are some links worth looking into. I will add new links from time to time -- sign up on the RSS feed if you want updates on this).
Here are some of the current links with some useful career stuff:

The tips are easy and realistic. Plus there's a lot of information on how to accomplish this without spending a lot of money (free training opportunties/free marketing ideas, etc.)
