Working Wives Contribute Much to Nation's Economy
The Institute of Life Insurance and government data show working wives greatly lift family income and curb poverty. If all working wives quit, labor supply would shrink by 20 percent and many households face money shortages. In 1965 the median family income for working wives was 8597 versus 6592 for nonworking wives. full time work adds about 38 percent of annual income and boosts access to life, health insurance and pensions.
