(1) Donna St. George, No more 'marriage gap' for college-educated women.

(no more "marriage penalty" for woman with college degrees)
Quote:
"For both groups [white women born in the early 1970s, with OR wihout
college degrees], 84 percent had married at some point before they were 40
"In 1950, 66 percent of white female college graduates married by age 40,
compared with 93 percent of their less-educated counterparts [both born four
decades earlier]. That gap has been steadily shrinking for decades. 'Now it
's at zero'
Note:
(a) One must register to read. However, a way to avoid this is to search the
web with title etc. (No other media outlet makes a similar report.)
(b) The report:

Less Likely to Say "I Do." Pew Research Center, Oct. 7, 2010.

("A Note on Terminology[:] 'College-educated' refers to persons whose
highest educational degree or level completed is at least a bachelor's
degree and includes persons who have completed a master's degree,
professional degree (for example, MD, JD, DDS, and DVM) or doctorate degree.
Individuals who have completed some years of college credit or an associate
's degree, but not a bachelor's degree, are not included with the 'college-
educated' in this analysis.")
My comment: Compre Fig. 1 with 5: teh former are women of all races whereas
the latter, white women only.
