53 Interesting Facts about the Number 53 #18: 53% of U.S. Women are Moms
Happy Mother’s Day!
Did you know that US Census figures from 2010 say that 53% of 15- to 44-year-old women are mothers? Not sure the percentage that is sleep deprived but I bet it is most of us…
In 1994, Census Data indicates that 53 percent of these moms were in the labor force. And if they had a bachelor’s degree, that figure was 70 percent. I would imagine that more recent would indicate that even more moms are working these days.
Whether or not a mom is working outside of the home, moms are pretty hard working.
And we couldn’t do it without the help of other moms who step up when we can’t be in three places at once OR without the women who do not have children of their own who also help make it all happen.
So let’s give it up for MOMS–whether you birthed the babies, raised the babies, or just were there to help us– here’s to YOU! Cheers and thank you!
