I question the extent to which this is actually happening. If it’s 43% of households, that’s a sharp jump from the 20% I read about five years ago.

Furthermore, the impression left by articles like these is of a hedge-fund manager wife married to a family practice physician. In reality, the vast majority of such cases involve a waitress married to an unemployed man!
