Women in the Workplace: Progress Made in 50 Years, but More to be Desired

Women’s roles in the workplace have changed over time, from 1970 to 2010. However, some things have not changed. To this day, gender stereotypes play a role in our culture. Some jobs considered to be reserved for men in 1970, such as computer programmers and electricians, appear to be reserved for men today. These fields have the same number of women working in them in 2010 as they did in 1970. There is still progress to be made.
