Women Make Up Most Of The Workforce Due To Recession
Women To Head Workforce First Time Since WWII
With the recent layoffs and men getting laid off at a higher rate than women, economics experts are predicting that women may become the majority of the American workforce as early as this summer.
According to the New York Times, it’s possible that women will become a majority of the work force for the first time in American history. Years ago, women were a small percentage of the work force (outside the home). During much of the 20th century – especially the 1970s and 1980s – women’s share of the labor force increased. By 1990, the work force was 47 percent female and 53 percent male, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Many view this as one of the most important and desirable social and economic transformations of our lifetimes.
