"What husbands? I think I can count on the fingers of both hands the numbers of families I've seen ... mostly single moms and kids."
From a Knight-Ridder article today:
Single mothers headed 65 percent of New Orleans families living below the poverty line.
"If you're a single mother and poor, and you have a very low education and have trouble finding a job, getting back on your feet is harder than it is for married couples or people with more resources," said Sheila Zedlewski, the director of the income and benefits policy center at the Urban Institute, a non-partisan think tank in Washington. "They're going to need some significant support for quite a while to make a new life for themselves."
