Women Doing
“Men’s W ork ”
By Sally M. Thomas
Special To The Post
Have you ever seen a wo
man carpenter or truck driv
er? Have you ever hired a
woman mechanic or ware
house laborer? The sight of
women doing "men's work"
may become more and more
common in the Charlotte area
as a result of a National Urban
League program called "Wo
men in Non-Traditional Jobs."
Sally Thomas, the Charlotte
coordinator for this project,
says, “Many companies now
have affirmative action plans
for women, and many women
are drawn to men's work
because of the better pay and
greater opportunity for pro
motion. My job is to. try to get
the two together.”
Information from the U.S.
Department of Labor clearly
points out the discrimination
which exists against women in
the job market. For instance,:
a wcman with a college degree
;arns less than a man with an
eighth-grade education. Since
more women have recently
begun moving into men’s jobs,
it would seem that the situa
tion should be improving but,
, in reality, it's getting worse.
While the average working
woman in 1956 earned 63 per-,
cent of a man's wage, by
1973 her salary had slipped to
only 57 percent of the average
male's.
Minority women generally
seem to fill up the bottom of
statistical charts. They earn
less money than any other
group, have a higher unem
ployment rate, and when they
head a family are twice as
likely as white women to live
at poverty level. On the other
hand, the plight of the minori
ty woman is improving in at
least one way--her wage rela
tionship to white women. In
1963 the minority woman earn
ed only 64 percent of a white
woman’s wage, but by 1973
that figure had risen to 88
percent.
Most women who work have
traditionally held jobs which
not only paid poorly but also
offered no opportunity for ad
vancement. Certain “myths”
about working women have
been used as excuses for a
lack of promotion: “Women
are oubsiakuBera^lisn L
The employment of mothers
leads to juvenile delinquen
cy," or “Men don’t like to
work for women supervisors.”
The truth is that women only
miss an average of 5.6 days of
work a year, compared with
5.2 days for men (less than
half a day’s difference). Also,
studies show no relationship
between mothers working and
juvenile delinquency.
