Only 49 percent of Black women with college degrees marry men with some post-secondary education. Fifty-eight percent of married Black women college graduates marry men with an overall lower level of education than they have. Moreover, more than 60 percent of Black women college graduates between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-five, peak childbearing years, have never been married. Compare that number with a mere 38 percent of white women for whom this is true.
