The most significant change to United States labor force was in the last half of the 20th century when a large amount of women entered the market. In 1950, 29.6% of the workforce was made up of women.
By 1999, it was 46.6%. The workforce today is almost at a gender balance.
However, women now outnumber men on college campuses. Women are filling more technical, professional, medical, and managerial jobs. Perhaps with more men being stay at home fathers, women may tip the balance scales and drastically upset the labor pool.
