@dailymail: More Americans are spending their prime working years without a spouse or romantic partner, reflecting a major shift in how relationships and family life are changing. A Pew Research Center analysis found that 38% of U.S. adults ages 25 to 54 were unpartnered in 2019, up from 29% in 1990. The share who had never married also nearly doubled over the same period, rising from 17% to 33%, while marriage rates fell and cohabitation increased. Pew also found that unpartnered adults tended to have lower earnings and employment rates than their married or cohabiting peers, although the researchers stress that these figures show correlations rather than proving that being single causes those outcomes. #usa #study #relationships #viral
