BALTIMORE - A new report shows that mothers who maintain their jobs while their children are little are happier than stay-at-home moms.

The study favored part-time work over full time. However in many cases the well-being of moms who worked part-time over full-time didn't change.

Depression was also less common in working women than stay-at-home moms.
