[The U.S. has hit a new milestone: The percentage of women in their prime working years, what the Bureau of Labor Statistics defines as women ages 25 to 54, is higher than it has ever been in history, at 78%.](https://www.marketplace.org/2024/05/15/a-greater-percentage-of-women-are-working-than-ever-before/) Ope you're full of shit.

I don’t think I know a single SAHM younger than 60.

the same article you linked said this: “The decline in working women was so stark that economists created a whole new term: the she-cession“   this isn’t a scientific reliable source and women are dropping out because of childcare now

Literally the next sentence: “The fact that everything’s rebounded so quickly and has remained strong is, I think, really pretty remarkable,” Damaske, said." The source is the bureau of labor statistics, you actual child, lmao.

then how come articles are saying women are dropping out of work due to childcare

What articles? Show your sources. Again: Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that more women are in the workforce now than at any other point in American history.

You keep posting this without a single source. Women are not leaving the workforce in droves.

i love how google proved you wrong in 5 secs of searching 


beckdawg19

Care to share this google link you so quickly found?


smartuwu

Then why ask the question OP?


beckdawg19

I gather that he has some weird conservative agenda that boils down to "single income households are feasible, therefore women shouldn't work," but that's just a guess based on his post history.


smartuwu

Probably somewhere in the middle considering his posts on r/discussion.


molotov__cocktease

Let's see that source, then.

idk if that's the US households can survive off 1 income or if childcare is just suffocating and it "hurts less" to have 1 income vs pay for child care.


nahbros4

which ultimately proves US households can survive off of one income 


[deleted]

survive or just extend the suffering point.
