According to NY Post, a new study from home cleaning service Homeaglow looks into how much time Americans spend on housekeeping and how much that time comes out to based on the average hourly wage.
- To find out, they analyzed the Time Use Survey and Hourly Wage from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
- They found that on average, American adults - both men and women - did 34 minutes of housework a day in 2022. That comes out to $19.69 per day, and for a year it’s a total of 208 hours (8.7 days) and $7,188.
- But when researchers broke it down by gender, they found that men only do an average of 19 minutes of housework a day, worth a total of $3,909 per year, while women do an average of 49 minutes of it a day, for a total of $10,341 per year.
- That means the average woman does $6,431 more unpaid labor than the average man in a year.
- Think spending an average of 8.7 days a year on housework sounds like a lot? The data shows that number is actually fairly low.
- The study finds that Alaskans spend the most time of any state on household chores, at an average of 50 minutes a day, or 303 hours/12.6 days a year.
- It’s also the state that has the biggest difference between how much time men and women spend on housework, which makes it the “most unequal.”
- On the flip side, residents of Washington, D.C. spend the least amount of time on housework, at an average of just 23 minutes a day, or 142.4 hours/5.9 days a year.
- New Mexico is the state closest to having “housework equality” between men and women.
5 of the Best Burgers on Menus in North Carolina
There are a few things that get me more excited than anything. That's shopping and eating. Whether it's me cooking a new meal, cooking my favorite meal, or even going to some of my favorite restaurants. One of the best things to also do is try new foods and restaurants around your area. I have moved around quite a few times in the last few years, but in every spot I lived, I went looking for restaurants. Whether it was simple stuff like American and pizza or I was trying new stuff like Tex-Mex when living in Houston, TX.
While sitting and eating my somewhat healthy lunch, I started thinking about cheeseburgers. This is somewhat ironic because I am not a fan of cheeseburgers but sometimes those burgers can really hit the spot. A juicy patty with a great slice of cheese and tons of topping options is one of those things everyone can call a great meal. Don't even let me get started on having the perfect side item to go along with that burger.
So, while I was sitting and thinking I decided to go look up some great cheeseburgers in the state of North Carolina. Now, I know that is probably a wide range but I wanted to see how crazy some of these restaurants get. I wanted to see if I could find those hidden gems with some crazy, super tasty cheeseburger options. So, take a ride through my mind and check out 5 of the best cheeseburgers I could find in North Carolina.
Mama Crow’s Burger and Salad Shop
