I lived in Indiana for a while, when I was an intern at Indiana University. Yes. It's rural... and you see women at (hard) work every day. Just not as much in offices, so probably nonpaid. Did they compare total hours women make accross countries, or are those numbers corrected relatively to men? Because I think men work less hours in Holland as well. When I was in the US, we would be on the job at 8AM and would have dinner together with colleagues and kids, then proceed working and go home at 11pm. And you hear people juggling 3 jobs at the same time, just to make enough money to live. Here, in comparison, we are well taken care of. And we have a choice. I am not sure what to think of those numbers... I'd rather be living here when it comes to that then anywhere else! I love your blog Marianne! Christine, from Amsterdam lol!
