that is involved
The same trend. in varying de-
grees, has been observed in most
other parts of the country. A
recent report by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics reveals a total
of %, 1856 900 women in the labor
force last year as against IT.
795 900 counted nine years prcvi-
ously.
81 Per Cent Here
Adapting to Prince Edward
county the results Of the recent
national and sectional survey
conducted BY the Commerce and
Labor Departments, it appears
that 500 per cent of all women
locally, over the age of IA, are IN
the labor force.
This represents an, increase
over the 248 per cent of them
so-listed III 1856, when the prior
census was taken At that time
1889 women were employed or
seeking employment
The 500 per cent Of working
women locally compares with
the United States average Of $50
per cent and the $50 per cent
in the State of Virginia.
An outstanding development
throughout the nation, revealed
by the survey. is the new atti-
tude Of married women toward
work outside the home. Nearly
one out Of three wives over age
IS is in the work force now as
against only one in eight in 1910.
Explanation Given
An explanation is given by DR..
Henry David, director of the Ma
tional Manpower Council. He
says that women are marrying
earlier, having children earlier

lies at an earlier age.
