30 years ago? not really. in 1995 two incomes was in full swing. granted, you could live a pretty good middle class life on those two incomes (assuming dad wasn't a cook and mom a waitress).
the single-income family died out in the early 80s. some say late 70s. women "officially" entered the workforce in the 60s. it went into full swing by 73 (the same year we see in all the graphs where productivity increases come uncoupled from worker compensation), but when i was a kid in the 80s (dae le???), my mom worked, and so did all my friends' moms. nurses, secretaries, cashiers, factories/plastics plants, etc., etc. only the rich kids from the 'good side' of town had stay-at-home moms, and even those were few and far between.
but the bottom line is this:
you're a fucking retard asking a shitty, stupid question 40 years too late. maybe 60.
