Laura:
Maybe by now she doesn't need to-at the beginning of OoP, 3 of the 
kids are on their own.  So maybe the financial pressure is less.  The 
Weasleys obviously made a decision to give up Molly's potential 
income so that she could be home with the kids.  This is a perfectly 
valid choice, imo, and one that deserves respect. If things had 
gotten much tighter around the Weasley household, though, Molly might 
have had to get a job despite her and Arthur's wishes-just like a lot 
of families in the RW.
