Facts of Life

Nearly 10.6 million children were being raised by stay-at-home mothers last year — an increase of 13% in a little less than a decade, according to a newly released Census Bureau report. Of the 41.8 million children younger than 15 who lived with two parents last year, more than 25% had mothers who did not have a job outside the home.
