As the new generation of parents, millennials rely much on the Internet for information about how to raise a child.

Some millennials were offended by "bogus stereotypes" about young parents — like turning to the Internet rather than to experts for child-care information — while others defended their cohort’s characteristics as a win for children.

Of the 8.8 million people who were thrown out of jobs, many have set about cobbling together a living in the so-called gig economy. You can be your own boss, by way of Uber, Airbnb or any sort of solo proprietorship. But when time off equals time unpaid, it’s not so easy to be your own benefits manager.
