We actually don't know whether the lady works part time jobs on those three. If each for 1/2 time, she has 1.5 x 40 = 60 hrs per week. I seriously doubt that she has 3 full time jobs. Also, keep in mind that there are some part-time jobs that need only 10 hrs per week. So, the total hours per week may be about the same as regular hours (around 40 hrs).

These are only some possibilities, though. I cannot get more information from the article.

Exactly.

Also, she has three kids. I suspect they're the ones losing out in a big way.

You are so right that we don't know enough about this lady's circumstances to judge. The Dems don't know either.

Here's another plausible scenario (it's real). One of my friends worked three jobs while her kids were in school. She was a teacher's aide (so she worked the same hours that her kids were in school), she was a clerk in a store on week-ends when her kids were with their father, and she sold Avon products.

She could have had one better job, but it wouldn't have meshed with the kids' schedule so well.

Americans really do have more job flexibility than most others do.
