Full employment of parents hits 21-year low

The Washington Times reports:

The Great Recession left its mark on the lives of U.S. children, reducing the number with fully employed parents to 72 percent, a low mark not seen since 1990, according to a federal report released this week.

However, there were solid improvements in several areas of child well-being: fewer deaths by injury among children aged 5 to 19, fewer births to teens and less binge drinking by 12th graders.
