Women’s Pay
While overall, women’s pay has not caught up to men’s, the earnings of single women ages 22 to 30 were actually 8 percent higher than those of their male peers in a 2010 analysis by Reach Advisors, according to a
Wall Street Journal report. That’s at least in part because they’re attending college at a higher rate than their male counterparts. And nearly 40 percent of working wives now out-earn their husbands, and soon they’ll be a majority,
says one expert.
