WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-A
new census report on employ
ment discloses the startling fact
that every fourth American wo-
man over IA years of age is !. "a
wage Garner, or wants to be one.
The total is nearly $4,000, 000s- Z 1
This phenomenon in our labor
force is no odd bit of informa-
ton for a radio quiz. 1t actually;
may be changing our way OF life.
The number of women holding
jobs today is equal to the total
number of women in the nation
lin 1870. In those days it was UNI
ladylike to work. But, to survive,
10 percent of the women, or about
100000, had to work for wages
in 1870.
The shifting economic force of
women has been slow through the
years, until the last decade. In
1880, less than IL percent of all
women were working for a wage
envelope
Take Your Choice
Ask Census Bureau officials
what the sudden step-up in en-
ployed women means, and they'll
give you answers which indicate
that this is something to be
alarmed or pleased or worried
about, according to your own
ideas of what women should do
in life. - 91
1t means among other things
that women in cities are working
in far greater numbers than wo-
men in small towns and rural
areas. For instance, more than
81 percent of the women in South
Bend, Ind, are working for
wages.
The depression played large
part in this great shift of women
into the labor market. When men
lost their jobs, daughters and
wives went out to hunt work.
Some of them were stenographers
who had given up their jobs to
marry. Others were young wo-
men who entered the labor mar
ket for the first time.
The great increase in the serv-
ice, trade and clerical. occupa-
tons had a lot to do with it. Wo-
men are good at detail in such in
dustries-good clerks, good comp
