Government figures show that no less than 3,357 local women, out of a total female population of 9,200 over the age of 14, are now employed or looking for employment outside the home. They are to be found in factories, in storea, in the pro. fessions, In offices and in al most every other area of work. Details on this feminine march into the labor market, as it affects the local com munity and other sections of the country, are from the De. partment of Commerce, which has released data gathered in the course of the recent ccn sus, and from the Department of Labor. 33 Par Ctnt of Jobs The degree to which wom en have made their presence felt in the job market is brought out in the official figures, which show that wom en are now in possession of 33.7 per cent of all Jobs in Medford. The proportion is higher than that found in most parts of the United States, where 32.7 per cent of the iobhold ers are female. In the State of Oregon they average 31.8 per cent. Since 1940 there has been a vast change In attitude to ward outside work on the part of women. At that time there were 11 million women In the labor force. Now there are about 23 million. Married women have been responsible for most of the Increase. They accounted for nearly two-thirds of the coun try's total gain in employment In the past 10 years, the La bor Department reported. Many of them went out and got jobs because they had loo much time on their hands at home. Household chores were not occupying their day as they once did, thanks to such conveniences as frozen foods, ready-to-cook foods, automatic laundries, dishwashing ma chines and the like. As for other married wom en, they are working simply to support themselves and their dependents and to pro vide some of the extras that they would not have other wise. Of Medford's female popu lation over age 14, some 36.5 per cent are in the labor force. This compares with 34.5 per cent In the United States and 34.1 per cent in the State of Oregon.
