| 0:00.0 | All right, team, we are going to talk about something interesting and a little bit different |
| 0:09.0 | than what I normally talk about, which is a recent study by Pew Research. |
| 0:14.5 | And Pew Research put out the study that showed that women are out-earning men. |
| 0:19.1 | And women are out-earning men specifically in several major |
| 0:22.5 | metropolitan areas, places like New York and L.A. and Washington, D.C. And in 22 of the main |
| 0:30.2 | metro areas in America, women are now earning as much, if not more. Now, is it a problem that |
| 0:35.9 | women earn as much as men? Absolutely not. Does it become |
| 0:39.3 | problematic when overall women are out-earning men? Not necessarily, except the majority of those |
| 0:47.2 | women when you ask them still prefer to date a man who is earning as much as them, if not more. |
| 0:56.5 | Now, this becomes an even bigger problem when you start to dig into the data and you start to look at the men exiting the workforce. |
| 1:02.7 | And so right now, in America, we have the lowest rate, the lowest percentage of eligible |

| 1:19.7 | are in the workforce that are in that age range. That is down 8% over the last 50 years. |
| 1:25.8 | Now, that 8% might not sound like a big deal, but when you're |
| 1:29.0 | talking about 100 million people, that's substantial. That it's a substantial amount and |
| 1:34.9 | a number of people, number of men specifically, that are not engaging and entering into the |
| 1:41.2 | workforce. And so that puts more of a burden, I guess you could say, more of a responsibility |
| 1:46.7 | onto the female part of the workforce. |
| 1:49.8 | And you have the highest amount of women that are currently in the workforce. |
| 1:54.1 | Again, not a bad thing. |
| 1:55.8 | But one of the things that I find fascinating is twofold. |
