A surprising number of highly-educated MBAs are dropping out of the
labor force. Associate Professor Catherine Wolfram, a member of the
Haas Economic Analysis and Policy Group found MBAs are more likely than
MDs and JDs to be stay-at-home mothers. Wolfram studied surveys taken
of nearly 1,000 Harvard undergraduate alumni and found 15 years after
graduation, business school graduates are more likely than doctors and
lawyers to leave the workforce. The common factors: being married,
being female, becoming a mother.
