More than 500 people attended the event, several redskins players, and d. C. United strut their stuff, with the help of beckys fun. More than 2,000 was raised for prevention of domestic violence.

Youre watching news 4 at 4 00. If youre a working mom, you have a reason to gloat. Yeah, a new study out there finds theyre more productive than their childless peers. And joining us now with details of the study, elon moy, with the Washington Post. Elon, talk about what you found out. I do have a 2yearold and have one on the way. This is particular interesting, for a study, what they found was over the course of a career women who have at least two children are actually more productive than women who have no children at all. And the effect was somewhat a little bit smaller for women who had just one child. But it was sort of encouraging news because a lot of working moms feel a lot of guilt over whether or not theyre doing enough at home and work. But this study shows theyre doing more than enough. And actually in some cases, outpacing their peers. So what is it about having more kids that makes you more productive . Is it because youre a good multitasker . So the study showed the Academic Research output of 10,000 economists in order to categoryize and pressures productivity. One thing they noted, there could be selection bias. People who were most likely to have children are also the people who are the most organized. People who are sort of the so it could be that being better at your job also makes you more likely to have children. And elon, we understand that having Young Children was found in some cases to take a toll, is that right . That is true, it is not that there is no kids anybody knows who have small children and sick days there is as much as a 15 to 16 reduction in productivity when your first child is born. That number increases with the number of children you. But in child rearing, the days are very long and short. It doesnt last when you smooth it over the course of a 30year career the effect goes away. You find that working moms actually make up for that. Before they have kids and after they have kids.

Yet, there they sit on thest hasides of our heads. S. For the world to see. But what happens when they stop hearing . Should we stop doing . Should we stop living . Not today. Esteem.
