Almost seven in 10 (68%) said they would like to be able to ask people about their plans to start a family during the interview process, and only 5% said they had recruited someone in the past who they knew was pregnant

I was interviewing for a new job right before my wedding.

"So," the interviewer says to me, "marriage is a blessing."

I'll find out!

"And family is a blessing."

I agree.

Frankly, that's my business.

Got the job.
