Today’s USA Today has an article about women in the workplace. Among the positive news:
- Women now hold 49.83 percent of jobs in America.
- They are earning more jobs in the fast-growing sectors of the economy like health care and education.
Now, for the bad news!
- Women still earn 77 percent what men earn for the same jobs.
- On average, women still work fewer hours and are more likely to hold part-time positions that lack benefits.
- There are still people who believe that the man should be the breadwinner.
- The words “man-cession” and “he-cession” continue to exist.
