I agree. I have noticed that in past decades, the man could provide enough on his paycheck alone while the woman stayed home with the kids. But in this day and age, it usually takes two paychecks to make ends meet. The cost of living continues to rise while minimum wage remains at a 10 year stand-still. What is Congress doing? Voting themselves a raise.
On the other hand, I'm also willing to say that too many people are turning down education that lead to those decent jobs that pay enough.
