For love or money: Women in Business

How are women working in this tough economy? Are they working for love or money? That is... love of the job or the essential need to make money?
We all work to have the resources to pay our bills, but as the cost of nearly everything rises -- from milk to maternity care -- more people are working or working harder because they have to. That includes women as single people, as single moms or in collaboration with spouses.
Others are, by design or happenstance, working in jobs that they love.
