Listeners respond: household earnings

The World

Yesterday we talked about new data released by the Census Bureau, which shows that in 2008, single, childless women between the ages of 22 and 30 made more money than their male peers in major U.S. cities. This prompted you, our listeners, to share your stories about how finances are handled in your household. Here are some of those responses.

Will you support The World?

Without federal support, local stations, especially in rural and underserved areas, face deep cuts or even closure. Vital public service alerts, news, storytelling, and programming like The World will be impacted. The World has weathered many storms, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to being your trusted source for human-centered international news, shared with integrity and care. We believe public media is about truth and access for all. As an independent, nonprofit newsroom, we aren’t controlled by billionaire owners or corporations. We are sustained by listeners like you.

Now more than ever, we need your help to support our global reporting work and power the future of The World.
