High-earning men are simultaneously more likely to be married to stay-at-home wives, and more likely to be married to high-earning women.
Why?
Because the narrative is manipulated bullshit, IFS is an NGO based outside of Washington with magical donor funding
The title of both graphs cannot be true simultaneously, it makes more sense if you invert the first one, high-income WOMEN are overwhelmingly married to high-income men
Simple reason being not a lot of high-income women want to be married to some video game addicted turd, the other being that the high-income men often run companies and can readily employ their wives at said company (if they're not already employed in the home with kids, the other graph). Their incentive to do this because it'll cost them less money and trust in the long run vs having them free-range flipping houses or Arbonne

It looks like for the top 1% of men the average wife makes about $100k and then 50% of the wives are stay at home
Couldn’t the math work for both claims in a scenario (oversimplified for example) like half the women make $200k and half make $0?
reply
They wouldn't overwhelmingly either, they'd equally marry earners and wives.

Of course both can be true simultaneously.
This is basic statistics.
If most women are in low to medium earning jobs and high-earning men rarely marry them, then automatically they are more likely to be married to married to stay-at-home wives, and more likely to be married to high-earning women.

Wrong. Are high-income men overwhelmingly married to high-income women, OR, stay-at-home wives?
They are mutually exclusive, as worded.
most women are in low to medium earning jobs and high-earning men rarely marry them
They marry them more often then not, then retire them as god intended, that's the stay-at-home cohort.
more likely to be married to high-earning women
They are not more-likely to be, they are the MOST-likely to be. Words mean things, perhaps stay away from NGO slop until you can discern the difference.

You seem to think "overwhelmingly" means >50% of population?

Guys, please stop. It's fine. Lova ya both

What's your question? Because this demographic wants to and can afford it, that's why they do it.
