Nearly 1 in 5 older women are going childless + More women wait to start families + but racial gaps narrowing

[mEDITate-OR:
ignore the fact that USA Today makes this significant.

This, too, is a red state vs a blue state issue, for women, and for men.

As for the impact on society, attitudes are more mixed. About half the public -- 46% in a 2009 Pew Research Center poll -- say it makes no difference one way or the other that a growing share of women do not ever have children. Still, a notable share of Americans -- 38% in that 2009 survey -- say this trend is bad for society, an increase from 29% in a 2007 Pew Research survey.
------------
Sharp Increase in the Number of Childless American Women

While the social implications of this may be more obvious
the economic ones should also be.

While immigrants are accused of taking jobs American don't want...
women are taking jobs that they DO want. A lot more of them.

That is a massive economic shift in income, power and accepted roles.

Today, the ViceP said we will never get the lost 7-8 million jobs back.
Well, he is a man...
and men may not ever get their jobs back...

from the women who stole them.
