This graph displays the growth of shared labor amongst men and women from 1948 to 2009. Women's share has increased from approximately 25% all the way to just under 50%

This bar graph shows a dramatic increase in labor participation amongst women ranging in age from the year 1950 to 1998. The percentage has nearly doubled in most of the age ranges. An assumption can be made that the 65 and older percentage has decreased slightly because of the change in retirement ages. Its also safe to assume an increase can be shown since 1998; about a decade and a half ago.
