More than half of households are dual-income households.†  This increases the labor pool, which drives down prices.&#xA;&#xA;Ironically, it would seem that, if more families switched to one parent being the primary breadwinner, it would drive up the cost of labor and make single-income households a more sustainable proposition for more families.&#xA;&#xA;The knock-on benefits from the additional time and attention the now stay-at-home or part-time working parents could give their children would have a generationally positive impact on well-being and prosperity.&#xA;&#xA;† Bureau of Labor and Statistics: https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2020/article/comparing-characteristics-and-selected-expenditures-of-dual-and-single-income-households-with-children.htm</html></oembed>
