That’s actually improvement from other stats I’ve seen so will embrace the progress?
And I do wish public figures like Elon Musk would set a better example in their personal lives. Not perfection — but upholding marriage…

+1. I don't get many Freepers' love of Musk. Until a few years ago many folks here hated him because he sold electric cars with government subsidies. He still sells electric cars and Tesla is still receiving government handouts, so what really changed?
There has been no progress.
The trick is probably their definition of ‘single mom’.
The numbers are far worse than this !
These stats count a woman who got pregnant at 17, 19, and 22 and raised a brood of gangbangers who never knew their father(s) but who then finally gets married at 45 as NOT a single mother for the rest of her life.
The stats might also count a woman who was a single mother, then got married and got a quickie divorce, as NOT as single mother.
Statistics can be the tools of liars.

A mother who is living with the father of one of her children is not defined as single, I think. She isn’t necessarily a married mother, or even in a stable relationship, but for now, she is not single.
