Off Ramping

Working women

Many moms have taken a detour from the fast track to stay home with their kids. But what happens when they want to merge back into their career? Work and Family correspondent Sarah Gardner reports.

There's a new entry in the dictionary of workplace lingo, Off-Ramping -- when working-women exit the career highway to have children. A study not so long ago said Moms who take at least a year off to stay home with their kids lose 18 percent of their earning power when they go back to work.
