From the BLS:
In 2010, 12.4 percent of families included an unemployed person—its
highest level since the data series began in 1994. The proportion of
families with an unemployed member in 2010 was up from 12.0 percent in
2009 and nearly double the 6.3 percent recorded in 2007. (The most
recent recession began in December 2007 and ended in June 2009 according
to the National Bureau of Economic Research.)
Among families with an unemployed member in 2010, 67.7 percent also
had an employed member, down from 68.6 percent in 2009 and 71.2 percent
in 2007. Among married-couple families with an unemployed member in
2010, 79.4 percent contained at least one employed member.
In 2010, among married-couple families with children, 95.7 percent
had an employed parent, unchanged from the prior year. The share of
married-couple families where both parents worked fell to 58.1 percent
in 2010 from 58.9 percent in 2009.
In 2010, the mother was employed in 67.0 percent of families
maintained by women with no spouse present, down from 67.8 percent in
2009. The father was employed in 75.8 percent of families maintained by
men with no spouse present in 2010, little changed over the year.
