Socioeconomic Status

One thing we haven't talked about in class yet is... class; social class, that is. We don't really talk about social classes these days, but there is still a difference in incomes when two people come together to date... Who pays for what? When? How? What do you think?

Here's the most recent stats on those getting married, in a WP article based on a Pew Report and US Census, along with some discussion.

Highlight: For one-in-five marriages today (that's 20%), the woman will be more educated and have the higher paying job.
