U.S. Census Bureau Daily Feature for July 23: Parents' Day
WASHINGTON, July 23, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Following is the daily "Profile America" feature from the U.S. Census Bureau:
PARENTS' DAY
Profile America — Sunday, July 23rd. Today is Parents' Day — an annual public observance similar to Mother's Day and Father's Day, but not an official holiday with gifts and greetings cards. And because it dates only from 1994, not as well known. Its goal is to honor the men and women whose devotion to children strengthens families and society in general, whether they are actual parents or parental figures. Among the activities of the day, "Parents of the Year" will be recognized at local, state and national levels. As America changes demographically, the role of parents remains the same — to nurture children. Presently, there are about 120 million parents living with children in the household. The great majority are parent couples, but nearly 20 million are single parents. You can find more facts about America from the U.S. Census Bureau online at <www.census.gov>.
