Loren's question raises an interesting point. I am convinced that the introduction of affirmative action and the encouragement of women and minorities to enter the labor force was part of an effort to break unions and increase the very low unemployment rate at the time. It might be that married women within the bounds of the traditional household might be worse off now that the power of labor has been weakened. -- Michael Perelman Economics Department California State University Chico, CA 95929 Tel. 916-898-5321 E-Mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
