The New Feminist Woman Isn't On The Scene Yet: Marriage, Divorce, And Income

  • Married Men Outearn Single Men And Women As A Whole (St. Louis Fed Study). Translated, women are pretty comfortable letting their mates bring home the bux, and are good at choosing ones who can.
  • Men Without Full-Time Jobs Are 33% More Likely To Divorce. Highlights:
    • "Two thirds of divorces are initiated by women, even though their chances of remarrying are slimmer than their ex-spouses’.
    • "These days guys who have jobs have a predicted divorce probability in the next year of 2.5%, whereas the same guys who do not have a probability of 3.3%."
    Presumably, this means that women kick men out, or the men are so abysmally unhappy that they file for divorce themselves.
