The Staggering Demographic Shift to Singleness in the U.S. in the Last 50 Years
"Since 1970, the population of single adults in the United States has increased by more than 350%! Nearly 50% of all adults in the U.S. are single. This trend is a staggering demographic shift." — RelateStrong | Leadership Series ebook
