In the event you read one of the articles in the past year about "highly educated" women opting out of the labor force to raise their kids, or were subjected to a long paranoid lunch conversation started by someone who had read one of these articles, it is my pleasure to share with you a new study entitled "Are Women Opting Out? Debunking the Myth" by CEPR's Heather Boushey.

The press release and full report can be found at http://www.cepr.net/pressreleases/opting_out_11_2005.htm.

For a shorter version, see Eduardo Porter's article "Mother's Flight >From Job Force Questioned," New York Times, 12/2/05. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/02/business/02women.html

Best, Liz Chimienti
