Women Now Hold
33.7 Per Cent of
Jobs in Medford
Women in Medford are en
tering the labor force in grow
ing numbers.
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.
