Family life suffers when a woman works full-time · Asked in 6 waves, 1988–2022 · 7,972 responses · weighted estimates computed from individual responses
2002 answers are a separate question (gss:famsuffr_2002): no one was recorded as answering 'disagree' that year (only 'strongly disagree'), so the answer options evidently differed.
Dashed lines mark changes in how interviews were done, which can shift answers: 1. → mixed mode (2022).
Shares of people who gave an answer. Each column is one wave, evenly spaced rather than to scale in time; hover for exact shares.
