Study Finds a Connection Between Unemployment and Divorce
According to The Huffington Post, a recent study conducted by sociology professors at Penn State University found that, since the 1980s, divorce rates have consistently dropped when unemployment rates have increased.
The study analyzed data from all 50 states in the U.S. between 1960 and 2005. Researchers expected to discover that unemployment destabilizes marriage. Before 1980, this was true: when unemployment numbers rose, so did the number of divorces. Since the 80s, however, when unemployment rates have increased, divorce rates have declined.
