The spouse's income is described in para. 7 (depending on how you count): "Our married women's husbands worked too, earning $51,000 and $103,000 respectively."

- rayiner 14y agoThanks. Corrected. It's interesting they set the husband's salaries based on the idea that women earn $0.78 for every $1.00 earned by men, but fail to account for the fact that a woman who stays permanently single is far less likely to suffer the reduced lifetime earning power that comes from having kids.
- daemin 14y agoI also found it interesting that they pick the women's salaries from statistical averages, but don't do the same for men, but just extrapolate based on some hand waving guess of a multiplier.
