Married Men Outearn Single Men (and Women as a Whole)

I am sure this going to shock everyone but Women tend to stay married to men that are well off.

The wage gap between men and women has been well documented. But when marital status is factored in, single men tend to earn roughly what single women and married women do, while married men far outearn the other three groups, according to a recent Economic Synopses essay.
quote:
Vandenbroucke’s first observation is that there was very little, if any, difference between single men and single women.
Next was that single women and married women also earned similar wages. “This is surprising since married women may be more likely to have children than single women,” he noted. “Thus, this second point is not consistent with the view that the gender wage gap results from women having children earlier in life and losing ground in human capital accumulation relative to men.”
His final observation was that married men earned significantly more than the other three categories. He cautioned that the data don’t imply that being married increases a man’s wage: “It might be that men with higher wages are more likely to marry; therefore, the average married man earns a higher wage than the average single man.”
“The gender wage gap remains a complicated topic,” Vandenbroucke concluded. “But progress may come from asking different questions: not just why women earn less than men (although not compared with single men), but also why married men earn so much more than everyone else.”

That is because they want to go to work to get out of the house.

It’s because married men would rather be at the office than dealing with their aggravating kids and a-hole wives.

This would seem to be the most common sense answer. Most responsible people eventually end up married.

That's because it's a myth. They take the average pay for all men and all women, not men and women doing the same job. Welders make more than secretaries.

Until they get advice from their friends on how to dump the hubby but keep the lifestyle/money

Not me. I make twice as much after my divorce than I did married.

That's not really my opinion, it's called statistics.

I think he read it as getting married is the responsible thing to do, which isn't the statement you made.

Is that chart really plotting nationwide, all occupation ‘average income’? What’s the sample size? I can’t imagine that with an average (including married and unmarried) salary of around 50k for a 40’s male that being married moves the needle to nearly 90k...

Where do divorced men come in on the chart?
Posted on 12/27/18 at 4:58 pm to Dire Wolf
How many are divorced or had a kid with a woman they never married? Theres a huge difference between a single man who had a kid with a woman he never married and non-divorced single men without kids.

Here's the thing bro.
1: Everyone wants enough money to cover their expenses, and fund their hobbies.
2: Very very few people want to work more than they have to.
3: Even if wives are earning well, children are expensive.
Therefore when a promotion comes up at work a lot of single guys will say "I don't really want to work that much" where a married guy will say "If I do that then Timmy's Nintendo doesn't hit my budget that much".
