As most pundits and
economists have noted, the employment situation in the United States has
improved substantially since just after the Great Recession when the official
U-3 unemployment rate hit a peak of 10 percent. That said, recent data
released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows one employment measure that
has had a significant negative impact on American households and family units.
Let's open with a
definition. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics a family
is:
"...a group of two
or more persons residing together who are related by birth, marriage, or
adoption. The count of families is for "primary" families
only, that is, the householder and all other persons related to and
residing with the householder. Families are classified either as
married-couple families or as families maintained by women or men without
spouses. Families include those without children as well as those
with children under 18."
