Women are not only more likely to be the primary caregivers in a family. Increasingly, they are primary breadwinners, too.

Four in 10 American households with children under age 18 now include a mother who is either the sole or primary earner for her family, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of Census and polling data released Wednesday. This share, the highest on record, has quadrupled since 1960.

Lies, damn lies, and statistics.

There is indeed a rise in women-as-primary-breadwinners, but that's mostly because there's a rise in women-as-only-breadwinners! The percentage of single-mother household has grown significantly, and that account for most of the increase. Actual step toward pay equality? I'm unconvinced.
