The 10 cities where the most women outearn their partners via CNBCMakeIt
Today, almost half of working women in the U.S. — including 42 percent of working mothers — are their family's primary or sole breadwinner, according to a joint NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll. That's up from 37 percent in 2000.
Because women still earn far less than men, achieving breadwinner status within a dual-income household is more difficult. In 2017, the median annual wage for women, over the age of 25, was $32,679. Men earned $46,152, according to the U.S. Census Bureau data, which also estimated that women only make about 71 percent percent of what their male counterparts do.
Given those attitudes it might not be surprising that there are no cities in the country where female breadwinners exist in more than 32 percent of couples, according to a new analysis MagnifyMoney did of microdata from the American Community Survey, conducted by the U.S. Census for the 50 largest metros in the country.Share of couples with female breadwinner: 29.2 percent
