There are two bar charts show the number of
marriages
and divorces in the USA from 1970 to 2000, and the marital status
of adult Americans in 1970 and 2000.
Overall
, the statistics for marriages
in each decade were higher than divorces in the first diagram but the trend was a bit decreasing, and the married status
was the highest level rather than other items in both years.
According to
the first bar chart, it is clear that
the number of marriages
in the first two decades was equal to 2.5 million
. Following
this
, in 1990 the value was around 2.4 million
and in 2000, the number of marriages
was 2 million
. While
the trend of divorces had upward and downward movements it continued to decrease to 1 million
. Likewise
, this
amount in 1970 was the same.
In the second diagram, it can be seen that the statistics for married status
were the highest in both years within other types. In 1970 and 2000, these values were 70% and 60% respectively. Of course, in the Never Married and Divorced items, the rates in 1970 were under the values in 2000. Besides
, widowed status
was a bit higher in 1970 rather than the percentage in 2000.Submitted by brightstargalaxy on
