In 1972, husbands were the primary or sole breadwinners in 85% of U.S. married households, while 5% of wives made all or most of the money, and 11% of married couples had equal salaries. According to the Pew Research Center, things have changed quite a bit in 50 years.

Today, 55% of husbands are now the primary or sole financial supporters (a 35% drop). Financially egalitarian marriages have risen to 29% (more than a 160% increase), and 16% of married women provide the lioness’ share of family finances (a 220% increase).

What a difference a week makes: The S&P 500 and the NASDAQ just had their best weeks of the year—only one week after suffering their worst weeks of 2024. Investors are gaining confidence as they wait for the Federal Reserve and Jerome Powell to cut interest rates next week.

Warner Bros. Discovery jumped following the news that it clinched a renewal deal with Charter Communications that’ll give the cable company’s subscribers access to its streamer Max.

AMA: Calls Out Skinny Health Insurance Networks!

Patients aren’t the only ones voicing concerns over the state of the US health insurance industry. The American Medical Association’s (AMA) policy making arm just called for new oversight and standards that ensure health plans don’t improperly limit patient access to in-network care.

The AMA House of Delegates voted to establish and enforce health insurance network adequacy standards as it met in National Harbor, Maryland, last year. The body adopted the proposal—along with several others—as part of the AMA’s continued efforts to ensure health plans meet patient needs and are held accountable for narrow networks.

The association said inadequate networks can create difficulties for patients in need of new or continued care. They can further limit patient choice when it comes to who is able to treat them and where they can be treated.

Healthcare comes with its share of mental challenges, especially considering that clinicians often care for patients when they’re in difficult and sometimes tragic situations. New research shows that even the path to getting into the workforce can be a challenge, with some physicians burning out before they make it to graduation.

  • The national debt is growing to an unwieldy size ($35.5 trillion) and now we’re beginning to feel its effects: The interest payment on the US debt topped $1 trillion for the first time ever.
  • Consumer sentiment hit a five-month high as Americans look ahead to lower inflation and interest rates, but sentiment remains well below its 2021 peak.
  • The yield curve un-inverted, but there’s always another recession indicator out there warning of a downturn ahead.
  • The cryptocurrency Wild West is still alive and well: Americans lost $5.6 billion in crypto scams last year, according to the FBI.
  • Credit card debt hit 10.9%, its highest level in 12 years, according to Deloitte.

Most doctors report feeling overworked and are considering a change in career, according to a new poll.

Doximity, a virtual network for physicians, found that 81% doctors surveyed last fall said they felt overworked—a slight decline from 86% who reported burnout in 2022 but still up from 73% in 2021. Meanwhile, about three in five doctors said they were considering early retirement (30%), looking for another employer (15%), or leaving the profession altogether (14%), the poll found.

The findings, released last year, come amid reports of rising rates of physician burnout and dissatisfaction since after the Covid-19 pandemic.
