More Louisburg Women Work
New York--The number of wo
men In the labor force In Louls
burg Is on the rise.
The old saw that woman's
place is In the home Is being!
widely disregarded. With every
passing year a larger propor
tion of the female population
is to be found In the business,
Industrial and professional
worlds;
Married women are re
sponsible for most of this In
crease. More and more of them
are finding It possible to dis
charge their home responsi
bilities and still have enough
time left to take Jobs, part
time or full-time.
On the basis of the latest
Government figures, approxi
mately 44.4 percent of Louis
burg's female population, above
age 14, Is now In the labor force.
When compared with the pro
portion of working women In
the United States as a whole,
34.5 percent, this Is high. It
tops, also, the State of North
Carolina's 37.5 percent.
The figures are from reports
of the Department of Com
merce, adjusted to March, 1964,
In line with new data on the
labor force, compiled by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
In Loulsburg, at the present
time, the number of women in
the loeal labor force is esti
mated at 533. Close to 94
percent of them are actually
employed.
The great bulk of them are
married women. They have
been entering the labor market
at a rapid rate. For the most
part It has been after age 35,
by which time their youngsters
are well along in school.
Their object is to bolster
family earnings so as to pre
pare for the heavy education
costs facing them and, at the
same time, to keep themselves
busy.
Making it possible, nowadays,
Is the vast array of appliances
and semi-prepared foods that
make housework less than a
full-time occupation.
The combined earnings of
these women has reached more
than $28 billion a year.
Overall, according to the Na
tional Industrial Conference
Board, such families spend 25
percent more than one-Income
families.
In Loulsburg, according to the
latest count, 40.7 percent of
all local Jobs are held by women.
The average, for the United
States, Is 32.7 percept, and tor
the State of North Carolina, 35.0
percent.
