Men Like Earning More than Wives

男人就是喜欢比老婆挣得多

(1) According to a new study, this means I likely have significantly higher career satisfaction than if my wife earned the same or more than me. Pamela Tolbert，the co-author of The Impact of Relative Earnings Among Dual-Earner Couples on Career Satisfaction and Family Satisfaction and a professor at Cornell University's ILR School, looked at 485 middle-class married couples in New York State between 1999 and 2002. They were all dual-earner couples---both husband and wife held full-time jobs.

(1)一项最新研究表明，与妻子挣得和我一样多甚至比我还多的情况相比，我很可能对事业更满意。《双职工家庭相对收入对事业满意度和家庭满意度的影响》一文的合著者之一、康乃尔大学劳工关系学院(ILR School)教授帕梅拉·托尔博特在 1999-2002年间对纽约州485对中产阶级夫妇进行了研究。研究对象都是双职工，即夫妇二人都有全职工作。

Ms. Tolbert c1assified as "equal-earner" couples those in which both spouses contributed between 40% and 60% of total family income. Those in which the men contributed more than 60% of total family income she classified as "traditional" couples. Ms.Tolbert examined how satisfied men and women in these arrangements were with both their careers and their family lives.
