Single adults now outnumber married adults

The New York Post reports:

It’s official, we’ve become the United Singles of America!

Unmarried American adults outnumber their married counterparts for the first time since the federal government began tracking that data in 1976, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

There were 124.6 million single Americans in August, accounting for 50.2 percent of the 16-and-over US population, BLS data showed.

That number has been hovering just below the 50-percent mark since 2013, before finally getting over the majority hurdle this summer.
