I think that's horribly misleading. Obviously, the percentage of women in the workforce shot up after anti-discrimination laws were applied to sex, but since the turn of the century, that trend has leveled off and reversed. If you just look at the last 20 years, the percentage of men and women in the work force have both been going down. Using your own, new chart (EFG8), which I used DoL statistics to verify [1], the overall labor force participation rate dropped from 67 in 2000 to 63 right before the pandemic hit, almost monotonically. What happened 20 years ago? [1]: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/wb/data/facts-over-time/women-in-the-labor-force https://www.dol.gov/agencies/wb/data/facts-over-time/women-i... (specifically, "Labor force participation rate by sex, race and Hispanic ethnicity")
