A new Pew Research Center study found that in 40% of households with kids, women are the primary breadwinners. This is the highest rate ever and has quadrupled since 1960. Two-thirds of those families are headed by a single mom. So, female breadwinners, call us up and talk about how being the primary earner shapes the dynamic in your family. 212-433-9692. Or anyone who lives in a household with a female breadwinner--male or female partners or kids--call us and tell us how you think it shapes your family.
