My post had nothing to do with employment or jobs, other than to muse as to whether a couple who were more affluent were more susceptible to divorce as a result of economic downturns (unemployment of a spouse, perhaps) than a less affluent couple. My theory is that the more affluent couple probably has more "stuff" and more debt, and that the economic disruption has a bigger impact on them.
I think it was Alabama who sang:
Well somebody told us wall street fell
But we were so poor that we couldn't tell.

The line in that song referred to the Great Depression era.
Different circumstances now. Well... come to think of it, not too far from it it seems.
