The Economist takes an interesting look at America's divorce rates and percentage of single mothers with respect to the mother's education. The summary: divorce rates are low and continue to drop for those with a college education, while divorce rates are high and continue to rise for those with a high school education or less. Similarly, only 10% of women with college educations are single mothers whereas nearly 30% of high school educated mothers are single.
