Happy Singles Week!
How fun- I just found out that September 17-23rd is National Singles Week. This is our week to tell all our married friends to f* off. In fact, I don't think that anyone is allowed to ask us when we are getting married, if we are dating anyone, or why we're still single this week!
In honor of this week, I thought I'd share some fun facts:
Unmarried Adults
89 million- Number of unmarried adults in the United States as of March 2004. 53 million had never been married. 22 million were currently divorced. 14 million were widowed.
Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Current Population Survey, 2004 Annual Social and Economic Supplement.
48% and 44%- The proportions of American women and men, respectively, who were 15 and over and unmarried in 2000. These percentages were up from 40 percent and 35 percent, respectively, in 1970.
Never Married
13.3 million- The number of people, ages 25 to 34 in 2000, who had never been married; this number represents 35 percent of all people in this age group. The total of never-been-marrieds among the 35-to-44 age bracket was 6.9 million or 15 percent.
Employment
42%- The percent of the workforce in February 2002, ages 16 and over, which was unmarried. Nearly 57 million of the 133.3 million people employed that month were unmarried. http://www.bls.census.gov/cps/pub/empsit_feb2002.htm
63%- The percent of unemployed people in February 2002 who were unmarried. Married people have a lower unemployment rate that do unmarried people.
