New data show young women make more than young men

According to new data released by the Census Bureau, in 2008, single, childless women between the ages of 22 and 30 made more money than their male peers in major U.S. cities. Women’s incomes averaged 8 percent higher, due largely to the fact that more women graduated college than men.

If you’re a single young man who makes less than his single young female counterparts, does that make you a “failed male?” Or is this simply a side effect of increasing gender equality?

We talk with James Chung of Reach Advisors, the firm that analyzed the data over the past year. We also speak with Aaron Traister, a stay-at-home dad whose wife is the main breadwinner in his household.
