Women in the Labor Force: A Databook (2008 Edition), U.S. Department of Labor, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, December 2008, Report 1011 (PDF, 101 printed pages)

  • “The past several decades have been marked by notable changes in women’s labor force activities. Since the 1970s, women’s labor force participation has risen substantially, particularly among women with
    children, and a larger share of women work full time and year round than ever before. In addition, women have increasingly attained higher levels of education: among women ages 25 to 64 who are in the labor force, the proportion with a college degree more than tripled
    from 1970 to 2007. Women’s earnings as a proportion of men’s also have grown over time. In 1979, women working full time earned 62 percent of what men did; in 2007, women’s earnings were 80 percent of men’s.”
