[quote=Anonymous]I actually think you'll see more women and young women planning around staying in the workforce in stable jobs with good benefits. And you'll see more women staying in those jobs and hanging on to them. Examples of jobs like this are: teaching, higher ed administration, government employees, corporate accounting/HR. They'll see the value, even for someone married to a successful spouse, of having a second earner, particularly one with good health insurance and, in some cases, a defined-benefit pension. Remember, what kills many young families in the UMC with job loss is often COBRA. Non-COBRA plans often don't cut it if you are pregnant, have a pre-exisiting condition, or have a kid that needs special therapies, etc.

A good example is my brother. He's decidedly UMC as a law partner, but in a practice that is severely affected the current situation (he represents hotel and hospitality companies). But his spouse has one of those boring stable jobs, so he isn't *that* worried. Will they have to reduce their spending and lifestyle if he loses his job? Yes, but they'll fundamentally be okay.
