The New York Times published an this article yesterday. I was always hoping that women would find

equality in the work place, but not this kind! This makes me a little nervous considering I am going to be a college senior in the fall and as much as I would like to deny it, finding a real job is just around the corner.
But there are some bright spots in this article, like:
“Indeed, for the first time since the women’s movement came to life, an economic recovery has come and gone, and the percentage of women at work has fallen, not risen, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports. Each of the seven previous recoveries since 1960 ended with a greater percentage of women at work than when it began.”
Let’s just hope that we get out of this economic slump in time for my May graduation!
