Gender in the Workplace 職場上的性別問題
[閱讀內容]
Women may soon outnumber(v.數量超過) men in the workplace. For the first time in American history, about 68 million women are on the job, just under half of the workforce(勞動力). In addition, women are catching up, because male-dominated(v.主宰) industries, such as manufacturing(v.製造) and construction(n.建築), are being hit very hard in this recession(n.不景氣). Men have lost more than three million jobs in the past year. That's 74 percent of all jobs lost. That means more families are relying on(依靠) women to be primary(a.主要的) breadwinners(掙錢養家的人), and that's difficult. The shift(n.改變) has been a long time coming. In the early 1940s, as World War II began, women made up a quarter of the labor force. But as millions of men went to fight, the female share of the job market started growing, bringing new opportunities, new aspirations(n.志向). It's never really stopped.
