“What is main idea of the given text?”

Women in the USA constitute 51, 4% of the country’s population. Many of them are earning money outside their homes today. Among women who are eighteen to sixty-four years old, sixty-two per cent have jobs.

Today more women are holding jobs of greater diversity than ever before. The number of women in law and medicine rose dramatically. In high schools and colleges women’s studies courses in history, literature and sociology have brought new attention to women’s lives.

At the same time women traditionally dominate such occupations as nurses and telephone operators. They made up 98% of the total number of secretaries, typists, stenographers in the country, 68% of all teachers, 97% of all private –household workers.

Working women have more education than those who stay at home. It’s natural that college-educated women want to use their academic training after marriage. Besides, the task of running a household has become easier due to modern appliences and aids such as convenience foods and many women choose to work primarily for the satisfaction derived.

Among women with jobs, eight out of ten drive a car to work, and eight per cent took a vacation away from home during the past years. Much of their travelling was by air.

These figures come from a report which was written for advertisers. The report gives advertisers a new picture of women today. It tells advertisers that fifty-one per cent of all American women have travelled by air- along with fifty-nine per cent of all American men.

The lesson for American business is that a significant number of married women have entered the labour force for non-economic reasons because they want to have other interests in addition to their homes. They like advertisements which show women in office, planes and cars.
