Statistical data on working women in the United States from age 16 to 70 and over are analyzed for the 1974-75 period. It is noted that the labor force participation of women has risen dramatically since 1950, although the rate has stabilized somewhat since the late 1960's (which is in marked contrast to the rate of their male counterparts, which has persistently declined). Data presented covers the following areas: Labor force status, marital status, occupations, income, and unrelated women living alone. (SH)
