Wage Earning Women Mainstay of Families
Studies show 40 to 50 percent of married women are wage earners and main breadwinners. A New England factory study found 11 of 28 married women were sole steady earners due to husbands' unemployment illness or part time work. Wharton School data from Philadelphia families indicate about 9,700 of 4,000 families with full time employed women rely on her income, with many others affected by job loss or part time work. If nationwide, 1 to 2 million married women may hold purse strings and contribute primary support.
