I don't believe parent is referring to parents leaving the workforce, but single parents supporting children. That is, either a solo mother or father raising one or more children.
- ams6110 13y agoAgree. And, not trying to make a value judgement on women working, but the huge increase in labor supply that came with the mainstream entry of women into the workforce certainly has kept downward pressure on wages. And following that, the exodus of manufacturing from the USA further increased competition among workers for jobs, leading them to accept lower wages or longer hours.
