Where was that number pulled off? That&#x27;s 10K over the median household income in the US.
Any how I wasn&#x27;t saying that having a homemaker ins&#x27;t economically sound under certain economic conditions i was saying that it&#x27;s less common in middle class and higher families than in lower class families.
When both parents are educated and have a career they don&#x27;t want to give that up, when both of them make enough to allow them selves to continue to work especially after thee infancy period they are more likely to do so.
Upper classes also have higher chances of having grandparents who&#x27;ve retired earlier and are also actually being able to live on their retirement and are able to help with childcare.
They are also more likely to work in companies that provide childcare assistance or services to their employees.<p>Combine all those factors and many more and you get to a point where income inequality actually forces people to become stay at home mom&#x2F;dad&#x27;s while the more financially stable classes can afford to continue with their careers.
