Nilsen, Sigurd R. – Monthly Labor Review, 1984
Both sexes had higher levels of unemployment in 1982 than in 1975, but the difference was far greater for men. Changes in the industrial mix of the labor force were overwhelmed by cyclical increases in unemployment and in the number of new job seekers. (Author/SK)

Maret, Elizabeth G. – Monthly Labor Review, 1982
Research tested the hypothesis that the overall lifetime supply of labor provided by mature women is related to their health, or their subjective assessment thereof, and a corollary--that the supply of labor by Black women is more affected by self-rated health than by that of Whites. (Author/CT)

Hayghe, Howard V. – Monthly Labor Review, 1997
During the early 1990s, there was no growth in women's labor force participation rates. Since 1994, however, the rate has edged upward with mothers accounting for most of the rise. (Author)

Boraas, Stephanie; Rodgers, William M., III – Monthly Labor Review, 2003
In 1999, women earned 77% as much as men. Current Population Survey data indicate that personal choices, occupational crowding, and discrimination contribute to the gender gap. However, the high proportion of women in an occupation is the largest contributor to the salary differential. (Contains 16 references.) (Author/JOW)

According to a survey conducted in 1989, more than 7.2 million people held 2 or more jobs, an increase of 26 percent from 1985 and 52 percent from 1980. Women accounted for nearly two-thirds of the 1.5 million increase in multiple jobholders between 1985 and 1989. (Author)

Devine, Theresa J. – Monthly Labor Review, 1994
One in 15 employed women was self-employed in her main job in 1990. The decision to become self-employed appears intricately linked with several other decisions for a woman--as an individual, as a household member, and over the course of her life. (Author)
