Working Women Want Money Study Shows By Maureen Gothlin Washington.—The typical working woman of today is in j her late' 30s, married, and works 1 not for love but for money. And the job is no glamorous thing to her. She is most likely to be found holding down a clerical job in an office. The next best place to find her is in a factory—prob ably making Vlothing or other textile products Her job is‘■full time but she may. work less than a full year at it. Her income is harder to figure out. She ‘probably contributes between $1,500 and $2,000 a year to the family income, which likely totals something less than $5,000 a year. This is the composite picture formed from the latest available statistics collected by the ^Census Bureau and compiled by the woman’s bureau of the Dq?ar*- ment of Labor. Almost 19,000,000 or one-third of the nation’s female popula tion, are holding jobs They make up 30 per cent of the nation’s labor force. More than half are 35 years old or more. The median age is 3A One out of every four working woman is employed in a clerical job. One out of every five is a factory worker. These two groups account for almost half of all working women. The larg est number of these clerical and factory workers are in the 25-44 age group. The department concludes that the young woman (14 through 24 years) is most likely to be an office worker; the mature wom en (25 through 44), an office or factory worker; the older woman (45 through 64), an office, factory or. service employee, and the el derly woman, a private house hold or service worker. - On the earnings side, 64 i per ! cent of all women wage and sal ary wokrers made less than $2,- 000, the latest year for which da : ta is available. Many women, particularly those with children,- hold part- time jobs or work only part of the year. Roughly, three out of 10 working women are mothers of children under 18 years of age. Only 19 per cent of these 1 working mothers held full-time; year-round jobs. The department credits the?; "new (married) look’’ of todav’s working woman to the need for wives’ contributing to the fam ily incomP! as well as to “the common American desire for an improved standard of living’’ Six County Men Enter Armed Forces Six Laurens county men vol unteered for military service at the Greenwood army and air force recruiting office last month according to M-Sgt.
