Work At Home Safari

ForbesWoman published their Best Cities for Working Mothers list and awarded New York, New York, Austin, Texas and Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota the top three slots.

As a local Austinite and working mom, I believe the city should be number one, but I’m not biasted at all.  According to the article, Austin “professional moms have their pick of career paths, including academics at the University of Texas, state government and big tech outfits like Dell and Samsung.”  In addition, the city offers a high quality of living for all age groups, schools, low unemployment rate.  New York’s public education system and the amount they spend on it gave that city the edge. 

Like New York City, it has an abundance of outdoor places for the kids to work off steam.  Additionally, both cities score high for plentiful childcare options.  Speaking of outdoor places, the article made a glaring mistake, it refers to some of Austin’s greatest assets as “Butler Park (also known as Town Lake)”.  I think the writers actually meant to say Zilker Park and Lady Bird Lake.
