Did you know that Mom are the top breadwinners in 40% of families? According to this article in HBJ, the Pew Research Center recorded that in 1960 that percentage was just 11.
The info shows that there are two types of “breadwinner Moms:” the ones who are married and earn more than their husbands, and the ones that are single mothers.
UPDATE:
- additional recommended reading, “Rise of Female Breadwinners Doesn’t Eliminate Pay Gap.”
- Also, this is the link to the original Pew Research Center report.
