share of never-married prime-age adults reached new record high in 2018, per analysis from @WendyRWang ifstudies.org/ifs-admin/reso… 
rise in never-marrieds largely driven by lower-income/less-educated adults, though other groups less likely to be married today than counterparts in earlier generations too.
reasons given by people who want to marry explaining why they haven't yet married (based on survey of Californians). Men more likely to cite lack of stable job as reason than women are. Most common answer though is "haven't found the right person"
related to last chart: women much more likely than men to say it's very important for spouse to have a "stable job"
