For the first time since Records began, More single people than married in U.S.
Posted by Sentrius on 9/9/14 at 9:42 pm21
quote:
Single Americans make up more than half of the adult population for the first time since the government began compiling such statistics in 1976.
Some 124.6 million Americans were single in August, 50.2 percent of those who were 16 years or older, according to data used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in its monthly job-market report. That percentage had been hovering just below 50 percent since about the beginning of 2013 before edging above it in July and August. In 1976, it was 37.4 percent and has been trending upward since.
quote:
In a report to clients entitled “Selfies,” economist Edward Yardeni flagged the increase in the proportion of singles to more than 50 percent, calling it “remarkable.” The president of Yardeni Research Inc. in New York said the rise has “implications for our economy, society and politics.”
quote:
Singles, particularly younger ones, are more likely to rent than to own their dwellings. Never-married young singles are less likely to have children and previously married older ones, many of whom have adult children, are unlikely to have young kids, Yardeni wrote. That will influence how much money they spend and what they buy.
quote:
He argued the increase in single-person households also is exaggerating income inequality in the U.S.
“While they have less household earnings than married people, they also have fewer expenses, especially if there are no children in their households,” Yardeni wrote.
The percentage of adult Americans who have never married has risen to 30.4 percent from 22.1 percent in 1976, while the proportion that are divorced, separated or widowed increased to 19.8 percent from 15.3 percent, according to the economist.
Yardeni is known in the financial markets for coining the phrase “bond vigilantes” in the 1980s to describe investors who were selling Treasury securities because of fears about big U.S. budget deficits.

Interesting to see, especially with countries like Germany fighting population loss.

This problem is more severe than it appears on the surface. The people who are marrying and breeding are folks that don't have western blood in them.

Agreed. There is a looming crisis that will threaten to alter the demographics of not just this country but the entire western world as a whole and most people are too blind to see it. When it finally becomes obvious, it's going to be a frantic race to frick the most and out breed the others. It's going to be a serious problem if the birth rate continues to decline for middle and upper class western society.

Meh...it is already happening to a lesser extent here. I don't think "western people" have anything to do with it. It is just a byproduct.
You're seeing more driven people procreating less.
It is pushing us closer to the major choices. Do we value lives or liberty? Should we have a few support the masses or every man for himself?
It is quite the pickle.

A hell of a lot of the people breeding can't afford to take care of their kids.

Um....what, Latino's are the fastest growing major population group and they're Western, hell they're even European in origin if you want to go back and be super creepy about it.
Or is this one of those "No Irish need apply" even crazier than normal old coot forms of racism. Are you going to start ranting about the "eye-ties" and other "papists" ?

By Western, I am referring specifically to cultural values that were made clear in British common law. I do not consider Bismarckian Germans, Napoleonic French, or Theocratic spanish "Western"

The impact on wealth of single-headed homes is undeniable. The destruction of the family should be complete in a few more decades.
We like function and detest the form.

This is false.
The average Mestizo "latino" in the U.S. has maybe half European DNA, if that. The president is as "white European" as the average Mexican.

It's going to come crumbling down like a house of cards over the next twenty to thirty years. Economic collapse and balkanization is on the horizon.

This is because the only thing more untrustworthy than elected officials is American women.

They've already made decent progress towards a good start in states like Michigan and Minnesota. Probably other places as well.
