Many years ago, people often said :”A woman’s place is in the home.” But Americans do not feel that way any more. Today, women make up about 43 percent of the America labor force. There are about 45 million working women in the United States, and a large number of them are married women with children. In 1980, for the first time in the nation’s history, there were more working wives than household wives. Looking back to 1940, we can see a picture of some very rapid change. In 1940, only 15 percent of married women held jobs. Today most young women choose to work even when they have children. Why do they work? The most important reason is that they need to earn money.
