At-home dads searching for jobs face a bigger stigma among would-be employers, and often have fewer opportunities to network from home

Wall Street Journal 5/19/10: At-home dads searching for jobs face a bigger stigma among would-be employers, and often have fewer opportunities to network from home. Much has been written about the challenges awaiting at-home mothers who decide to return to work. Few of them, though, have a tougher time of it than the stay-at-home dad. Among fathers profiled is Wayland resident Ira Montague. He says he learned not to mention "stay-at-home dad" on his resumé. A former creative director for an ad agency, he has been home with his adopted daughter, now 4 years old, for three years, and looking for work for about half that time.
