Okay and what about women?
- twelve40 4y agoi have no idea since i'm just a rando googling things, but there seems to be a ton more data available for men, and it's probably because in the 30's and before that, women were stereotyped much more than today and it's hard to do apples-to-apples. But feel free to pull up more data and contribute to the conversation!
- metaphor 4y agoIn the U.S., labor force participate rate for women[1] increased from ~33% to ~58% over the same period, peaking at 60.3% circa Apr 2000. In contrast, participation rate for men[2] bottomed at 66.1% circa Apr 2020...for the time being. Here's some data on aggregate U.S. labor force[3], and breakdowns of men[4] and women[5] constituent components. I'll leave it to the passersby to contemplate.
