Why More Americans Are Living Alone

More and more Americans are living alone, according to sociologist Eric Klinenberg's new book "Going Solo: The Extraordinary Rise and Surprising Appeal of Going Alone." Ray Suarez and Klinenberg discuss the emerging demographic of so-called "singletons" and what he calls the "biggest unnamed social change of the last 50 years."
