More U.S. women living solo

For the first time ever, more U.S. women are living without a husband rather than with one. In 2005, 51 percent of women said they were living without a spouse, up from 35 percent in 1950 and 49 percent in 2000. Coupled with the fact that in 2005 married couples became a minority of all American households for the first time, the trend could ultimately shape social and workplace policies, including the ways government and employers distribute benefits. You know what would be awesome? If this information (and possible pattern) really did start a national dialogue about workplace standards & benefits or women's leadership capabilities. It's only one percent above half, but it has serious implications if the trend continues. And for the sake of honesty, the plan was always to take over the world, we're just hoping that there's some cooperation with the whole thing.
