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.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
