A growing number of U.S. households are “egalitarian” in that the husband and wife bring home the same amount of money, a Pew Research survey found.

that married men, across the board, remain the main breadwinner in the family — 55 percent. However, the percentage of egalitarian households — where the husband and wife bring in the same amount of income — is on the rise.

Further, the data showed men as the “sole” breadwinner dropping over the last 50 years. In 1972, men were the sole breadwinners in 49 percent of marriages. That has changed drastically; in modern day, less than a quarter of men, 23 percent, are the only breadwinners of their families. Just six percent of marriages see the wife as the “sole” financial provider.

The only marriage type where husbands devote more time to caregiving than their wives is one in which the wife is the sole breadwinner.

The survey also found that the perceived value of these contributions — at both work and home — differ. For instance, only seven percent believe society “values men’s contributions at home more than those at work,” while 31 percent said society values women’s contributions at home more than work.

I thought women earned less than men? That’s what the left has been screaming at us for god knows how long.

But how can that be? Everyone knows women earn less....

That can’t be. Wage gap.
