The Numbers:

      66.3 million: Estimated number of fathers now in the USA. 

      26.5 million: Number of married fathers with kids under 18.    

      98,000: Estimated number of married fathers with kids under, 15 who have remained out of the
      labor force for more than a year primarily to care for family while their wives work.

UPDATE: Now (2007) the number an estimated at 159,000 in the U.S., according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
 

 (We believe the above number (159,000) to be very conservative as it does not reflect the thousands of fathers who work from the home or part-time and are also the primary care givers to their children. It also does not reflect the fathers who do not acknowledge their at-home dad status for whatever reason) -- Daddyshome, Inc.
