Re: [There was *NOT* significantly 'more income PER PERSON'... the term you are searching for is "per FAMILY".] "No the term that I am accurately using is per person, your apparently arguing per employee"

No.

That is not what I was saying at all.

What I said was that (from late '60s on, but most especially in the decade of the '70s) the entrance of WOMEN into the American workforce helped to stabilize/maintain the average real wages that families were bringing... a counter-balance to the real wage compression that was afflicting male wage-earners at the time.

Without (first) wage earners working longer hours (always the first reaction to rising prices and stagnant real incomes), and (second) the wives entering the American work force in massive numbers, real take-home income for American families would have suffered major declines.
