Working moms are rushed but happy, says report

Working mothers with children under 18 are much more rushed (or at least they feel more rushed) than the general public, reports the Pew Research Center. Not much of a surprise to most of us in that category, but what followed was: Those working moms report the same level of happiness as stay-at-home moms, with 36 percent of those responding to a survey saying they're "very happy," and 44 percent saying they're "pretty happy."

Less happy were single mothers with children under 18. Only 27 percent were "very happy."
