This is a nice thing to
This is a nice thing to hear, it means that things are really getting better out there. This long waited and sudden drop must also be caused by the increasing number of stay at home women who became working moms. I have heard of so many cases of this kind and they seem to be happy because they get the chance to provide for their families and ease the financial strain a little bit.
