It seems to me like it would be much easier for upper/upper-middle class women with advances degrees to go to part-time, whereas it would be incredible onerous for working class women, who are making less money and less likely to have a highly educated, highly paid husband.

I strongly suspect that average weekly hours are highest for states with lower marginal tax rates, not unlike the pattern for <a href="http://athousandnations.com/2010/04/14/voting-with-their-feet/" rel="nofollow">interstate migration</a>.

There still exists a mentality that people are only "working" if they are sat behind a computer screen tapping away, and that anyone talking, or daydreaming, or "working at home" must be dossing. Hopefully research like this can help dispell that old skool mentality. Excellent.

This would have been an even stronger effect when CT had no state income tax.
