Welcome to the Stay-at-Home Boyfriend Economy
Women now hold more payroll jobs than men.

Victoria here, Girlboss’ executive editor. 👋
If your boyfriend is unemployed and sits at home all day playing video games and getting chip crumbs in the couch cushions, congrats: he’s part of a larger economic trend. Move over, trad wives. The stay-at-home boyfriend economy is here. And we break down what it all means below. 🎮 💸
Other stuff the Girlboss team is yapping about on Slack:
Meet the AI coworker that snitches to your boss.
We should be able to laugh-react to job postings on LinkedIn, amiright?!
📌 Bulletin Board: Mark your calendar! The AI Advantage Summit (April 23–25) is a free virtual event led by Tony Robbins, Dean Graziosi, and world-class AI experts—designed to help you figure out AI once and for all. No fancy tech background required.*
💼 Job of the day: Shondaland (Shonda Rhimes’ production company behind Bridgerton, Grey’s Anatomy, and Scandal) is hiring a VP of Netflix Scripted Series to shape what everyone will be binge-watching next. How cool?!
