Married Women Important In
Country’s Labor Force, Says
Women’s Bureau Head
“That there is a place for mar- ]
ried women in the labor force as
well as in the home has been def
initely established as more and
more women with husbands take
jobs where their services, are need
ed in the business and industrial
ms tint ions of the country,” said
Miss Frieda S. Miller, Drector of
the Women’s Bureau of the
United States Department of La
bor in her Labor Day message
analyzing the most recent census
Bureau reports on this subject.
There has been a large increase
in the ranks of women workers in
the years since World War II,
practically all of it due to the
entrance of married women into
the labor force. Miss Miller said.
Throughout the postwar period
there has been no material change
in the number of single women
workers, which stands at about
5.5 million. Neither has there

been any notable increase in
women workers who are widowed
or divorced, of whom there are
about 2.9 million. The number of
married women workers, on the
ether hand, has grown from 7.5
million in 1947 to 10.4 million in
April, 1952 (date of latgst figures
released).
There was a smaller increase
between 1951 and 1952 than in
earlier postwar years, but over
the rest of that period (1947 to
1951) an average of 650,000 mar
ried women was added to the la
bor force each year. The num
ber of married women who were
working in April, 1952, exceeded
the World War II peak by almost
2 million. Today there are 19
million women workers producing
goods and services in the United
States and slightly more than
half are married women.
The Women’s Bureau Director
colled attention to another signif
icant trend in married women’s
employment as revealed by the
census figures: the tendency dur
ing the past decade for women to
return to work—or, as it may
happen, to take jobs for the first
time—after reaching middle age,
whereas before World War II it
was largely young wives in their
twenties and early thirties who
went into outside employment.
The April, 1952, figures showed
that the greatest proportion of
working wives were those in their
early forties <33.3 per cent were
working! and even married wom
en in their early fifties entered
the la1>or force in about the same
proportions as those in their
twenties and early thirties
(around 25 per cent in both the
younger and older groups.)
Married women living with
their husbands are still much
less likely to seek employment
than single women or those who
are widowed or divorced. Single
women, in fact, are almost as
likely to be working as single
men, Miss Miller said. Only teen
age girls and women over 65 are

in the labor force in much small
er proportions than single men of
the same age. About BO per cent
of all single women are working,
whereas only 28 per rent of mar
ried women living with their hus
bands are in the labor force, and
3£ per cent of those who are wid
owded or divorced.
Women whose husbands earn
the least money are the ones most
likely to be found on jobs of their
own and. conversely, the propor
tion of wives who work dwindles
as the husband's salary bracket
rises. This is a numerical indi
cation, Kiss Miller pointed out,
that married women work pri
marily, though not necessarily,
because their earnings are needed
for family support or to supple
ment the family income.
Around 6.3 million women work
ers have children under 18 years
of age and 2.1 million of these

stantial gains have occurred in
the past year, and their effect
may easily be seen in the busi
ness totals. Industrial production
has reached unprecedented peace
time highs, and the gross national
product has expanded by $25 bil
lion, mainlly because consumers
have been buying more heavily
than ever of durable goods, non
durable goods, and numerous serv
ices.* Yet, with personal expendi
tures so heavy, the total of per
sonal savings has continued.
We are firm in the knowledge
and belief that if men and women
are free they will work unceas
ingly to improve their lives and
their homes, and to create a bet
ter future for their children.
