Are incomes really stagnant? Are we richer than we think? @pewresearch's @r_fry1 and Beacon Economics' Chris Thornberg discuss now: kp.cc/2MLsduJ
In 1995, young men and women were equally likely to hold a bachelor’s degree (25% each). Since then, there has been a growing gap between men and women in college completion. pewresearch.org/short-reads/20…
Young women are now 10 percentage points more likely to have finished a bachelor's degree than young men. Significant gender gap is apparent among every major racial and ethnic group. pewrsr.ch/4fxwAE7
There is no wealth gap between single women without children and single men partly because single women without children are significantly older than single men and age is a powerful contributor to building wealth. pewrsr.ch/4fyHN6M
About half of households headed by single women without children own their homes, similar to the share of single men who own their homes. And single women without children are about as likely as single men to own a retirement account. pewrsr.ch/4fyHN6M
The wealth gap between single women and men reflects the low wealth of single mothers. Households headed by single women without children have as much wealth as households headed by single men, around $85,000 at the median. pewrsr.ch/4fyHN6M

Why would rock legend Tom Petty have made a great pollster? Because he knew that the weighting is the hardest part. @KSoltisAnderson @ScottWRasmussen @jmclghln @ForecasterEnten #polls #Election2024 #DadJoke
In 2022 two-thirds of 12th grade girls said women face discrimination in getting equal pay for equal work, up from about half in 1992. pewrsr.ch/3ND6t2l
How often do student loan debtors have outstanding education debts of $100,000 or more? 9% of student loan borrowers have outstanding education debt of at least $100,000. That is about 1% of all U.S. adults owing at least $100,000 in education debt. pewrsr.ch/2YIgOmt
Slightly less than half (49%) of student loan borrowers with a bachelor's degree owed at least $25,000. pewrsr.ch/2YIgOmt
In 2023 13% of U.S. adults had outstanding student debt from their own education, per the Federal Reserve's 2023 Survey of Household Economics and Decisionmaking (SHED) pewrsr.ch/2YIgOmt
We have updated our middle class calculator. Nationally 52% of adults are in the middle class. But it varies by metro. 24 metros have more than 60% of adults in the middle class. And 16 metros have less than 49%. See where you and your metro stand. pewrsr.ch/1T5MEP9

White husbands are more likely than husbands of other racial and ethnic origins to be in a marriage with a wife of similar age (within 2 years or less of his age). pewrsr.ch/3X4VfsH
Opposite sex marriages in which the wife is at least 3 years older than the husband have recently become more rare. Today 10% of marriages have an older wife, down from 11% of marriages in 2000. pewrsr.ch/3X4VfsH
In 2022 40% of opposite-sex marriages had a husband who was 3 or more years older than the wife. In 2000 43% of marriages had an older husband and in 1880 62% of marriages had an older husband. pewrsr.ch/3X4VfsH
In 2022 the average age difference between husbands and wives was 2.2 years. That is down from 2.4 years in 2000 and 4.9 years in 1880. pewrsr.ch/3X4VfsH
I don’t understand why Dems are pouncing on this after pushing for an expanded child tax credit. We all realize that a tax credit to people with kids means childless people with the same income pay more in taxes, right?
BREAKING: In a stunning new leaked video, JD Vance claims that childless adults should pay more in taxes. It’s clear JD Vance wants to wage war against Americans. Retweet so all Americans see this devastating clip.
