americans stressed out about economy. and women are disproportionately more worried: 84 percent of women, compared with 75 percent of men.
"I think it's reasonable because women have the unenviable task of balancing the budgets at home," says Manhattan resident Alfred Gottschalk.
let's not also forget that women are disproportionately affected by poverty already, and that women make 25% less than men for the same work.
seeing as we have less money to start out with, we have less money cleared after living expenses (which means that inflation will hit harder), and we're more likely to be single parents, i can't really see how this is surprising.
i don't think i would use the word 'reasonable,', though, even if the gentlemen i'm quoting didn't quite find the word he was looking for.
