I can't imagine how tough it must be to juggle kids AND a job. I know many of you are working Mothers...so I thought you'd be interested in knowing that D.C. ranks No. 2 on Forbes Magazine’s 2010 list of the Best Cities for Working Mothers, topped only by Minneapolis-St. Paul. D.C. also ranked No. 1 in the nation for women’s salaries, and Forbes notes the unemployment rate for women in Washington is also the lowest among the cities it ranked.

“For women looking for financial success in a bustling metro, the country’s capitol is top-notch and also boasts an excellent school system,” Forbes writes. Washington scored poorly on cost of living, ranking 48 out of 50 in the category, a negative Forbes notes is somewhat offset by women’s high earnings potential. Las Vegas ranked dead last on Forbes list, plagued by high unemployment, a low number of pediatricians and a high rate of violent crime.

The top 10 in the 2010 Forbes list of Best Cities for Working Mothers:

1. Minneapolis-St. Paul
2. Washington, D.C.
3. Boston
4. Pittsburgh
5. Baltimore
6. Denver
7. Hartford, Conn.
8. New York
9. Seattle-Tacoma
10. Buffalo-Niagara Falls, N.Y.
