Women who earn more
money than their husbands The
Ozzie and Harriet model, in which the husband works and the wife stays
at home, does not represent the typical family in today�s workplace.
In a more accurate portrayal of American families, Harriet would enter
the workforce, and might even earn more money than her husband. In
1999, over 25 percent of women in dual-earner
households earned more
money than their husbands did during the previous year. And in
dual-earner households in which both the husband and wife are working full-time,
this number increases to 31 percent. |
