GREEN COUNTY ECONOMIC SNAPSHOT

WORKING WOMEN

by Sarah Burgert

January 2007

Have you ever wondered why, at 5:30 p.m., the line at the grocery store is so long?  Like you, most of these shoppers just got off of work and are rushing home to prepare dinner.  Knowing that many of these early-evening shoppers are women, it is no surprise the percentage of women age 25-44 working in the United States has doubled since 1950.
