******************************** Two New Studies Look at Mothers -- and Smokers -- in the Workplace http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/index.cfm?fa=viewfeature&id=1242 Many parents love to brag about their children. Some even note their children's existence on their resumes. Perhaps they shouldn't. According to research presented by two Cornell University sociologists at a recent Wharton conference, mothers suffer when competing for jobs against similarly qualified fathers and childless men and women. Additional research discussed at the conference -- organized by Wharton's Center for Human Resources -- offered interesting observations on another workplace group: smokers. Scholars from Columbia University and Barnard College conclude that smokers are paid less on average than other workers because they may be less willing to invest time and effort in career advancement than nonsmoking colleagues.
