84. there does seem to be alot of truth to that

********* <18 *** 6-18 *** <6
1975 **** 47.4 *** 54.8 *** 38.9
1980 **** 56.6 *** 64.4 *** 46.6
1985 **** 62.1 *** 69.9 *** 53.5
1990 **** 66.7 *** 74.7 *** 58.2
<1994 Information Please Almanac (BLS)>

Those are previous stats I have for mothers in the workforce as a percent. Women with children under 18, 6-18, or under 6.

I am not sure if that trend continued through the 1990s, but the 20% growth from 1975-1990 would account for some increase in household income. An increasing number of DINKs would do so as well. The women in my family were 27,30,and 28 when they had their first child.
