DID YOU KNOW?

• Single mothers represent 82.6% of all custodial parents.

• Single mother families are more likely to be affected by poverty than any other. For a single-parent family with two children, the average income required to be self-sufficient in Utah is $30,532.

• While only 10 percent of all families in the U.S. live in poverty, nearly 30 percent of single-mother families live in poverty.

• The average income for a single-mother family is $26,000 (lower than the average income for a single-father family). Though 77 percent of Utah single mothers work, many remain economically vulnerable. Thirty eight percent have an income of less than $20,000 a year.

• Single mothers often do not have the education or work experience needed to command a high salary.

Wow! Did you know that? These stats are staggering.
