7. Changing times

Excellent post. I'd also be interested in seeing how the percentage of households with two wage earners has changed over that period. When I was growing up most of the mothers stayed home, with a few exceptions which were mostly teachers. A family could live a very comfortable middle class life on one salary, and children weren't forced to spend so much of their time without any parental involvement. AND few people needed to set up a "college fund" the day after a child was born just to try to get them a decent education. Since the "Reagan Revolution", I can think of very few married couples with children that don't need two incomes just to get by.
