Excerpt from the report:
This visual essay presents highlights of data on employment and unemployment within families. Over time, work patterns within families have changed dramatically, particularly as women—notably married women and mothers—have entered the labor force. Labor force patterns vary by family type and by race and Hispanic or Latino ethnicity.
The estimates in this visual essay are based on data from the Current Population
Survey (CPS), a national sample survey of about 60,000 households conducted
monthly for the Bureau of Labor Statistics by the U.S. Census Bureau. For more
