Both Parents Working Full-Time

By 2025, half of American parents in heterosexual relationships with kids under 18 will both work full-time—a dramatic jump from just 31% in 1975. Financially, dual-income households see clear benefits, especially when both parents work full-time. But when it comes to kids’ well-being, most parents who have the dad working full-time and mom staying home report positive outcomes, while only about half of dual-worker families feel the same. Racial disparities also emerge: Black families saw a slight dip, Hispanic families remain steady, and Asian families have seen growth. Across the board, most parents say their work arrangement doesn’t significantly impact career progress—revealing a complex, evolving balance between work and family life.
