No family member was employed in 16 million U.S. families last year or 19.6% of families, according to data, it’s the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In 1995, 18.8% of families had nobody working. The percentage peaked at 20.2% in 2011. It’s been steadily declining. Black and Hispanic families remain more likely to have an unemployed member in the family than white or Asian families. Not a real surprise there.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: From NBC News of all places: “Most Millennials Are Finding it Hard to Transition into Adulthood.” More Census news here. “In 1975, only 25% of men 25 to 34 had incomes less than $30,000. By 2016, 41% of young men earned less than $30,000 a year.” You put this together with Millennial women claiming to be ashamed and embarrassed if they earn more than their boyfriends or spouses. “Trouble transitioning to adulthood.” I wonder why that might be. We should discuss this further.
