okay you're probably uh more up on this subject than i am but
the roles that women have played the last couple couple of year in our are couple of generations
that
right well they've entered the work force more uh you know since World War Two is when they started
you bet
and uh i think that that is you know very significant that the percentage of the work force today consists of such a high percent of women
you bet you know where i've noticed it more i think is i'm a traveling salesperson and i have traveled most of my life and i know just especially in the last
oh ten years and really since the in the last half of dozen years i see more and more women traveling
right
you know as far as boarding planes and driving cars and calling on customers i sell sporting goods and even in our industry uh
there was virtually really and truly no women as far as selling the type of things i sell and even in the last five five or six years boy you see more and more women being involved and
you know it's a it's a credit to them as far as how they're doing things
yeah the you see more of that you see more of them uh leaving their children in the care of their husbands while they do travel too
you bet
you know i i go to a i have a club that i belong to Altrusa that you know one of the girls travels quite extensively and she said well my children have two parents you know why not
you bet that's sort of neat
so that that's a i think that's a change and i think that's a change you're going to be seeing more of in the in the future people having that kind of attitude that the father's going to take more active role in child rearing
sure i think uh it's the age age old thing every once in a while you read in the newspaper or you'll see it on TV or something where the discussion comes out that
you know women are paid less than men and they're and they're doing the same uh
or carrying the same job responsibility and you know i that's a very true statement and it shouldn't uh it shouldn't be that way
right
no that that i think should change will change in the near future also it's been changing it's been evolving but there's still a an
and
i think so hope so and
an unequality in the work force in certain jobs it's you know and you hear some people say you know well he's a man he he he needs that salary
absolutely
you know i've
right yeah they forget also i think uh a good argument for that is in the area of politics you know
if if a a woman Congressman i'm sure makes as much as a man Congressman as and the same as a senator or whatever
right
so they certainly uh they certainly deserve it all the way
but i guess just the most significant thing change for me again as i mentioned it was just in traveling you see uh more and more ladies all ages with briefcases and uh and in their business suits and and going
and going yeah um-hum
and i expect you're right in regards to having two parents now that's a good a good statement
and i think if in the future it's even gonna be uh more noticeable and more significant
right
yeah i i think it will be i think i well another another thing i read too the other day this is not just for working women but how much they're out there i guess is that car designers um are starting to design cars with women in mind
um because in the past the male bought the cars but now they're showing that fifty five percent of women are actually making the new car purchases
wow
and that they are looking for um
different things in the car the man is looking for the engine in the engine and the woman is looking to how easy can she slide in under the steering wheel
you bet
uh can her makeup come off the upholstery and if they're out there buying that many cars then there's that many out that are self sufficient and you know mobile and working
good point
right now i'm self employed and and my wife's always worked she's a schoolteacher but for she started working and then when i first started my bidness uh she was selling real estate at the time and hers was the only income we had for three or four months so
right
you know she certainly did her part in help getting me established in my business she still works everyday so
yeah we all do
you bet
i'm just happen to be off today so i work too
uh-oh enjoying enjoying it what kind of work do you do
i'm a nurse
well good
and i work at Medical Treatment Center um which is at Garland uh Jupiter and Arapaho
right married
no
yeah
well well
trying to think what else i can say in regards to this subject
i don't know
i'm kind of out of out of things
you see the old uh
cigarette ads you know about you've come a long way
you've come a long way baby
baby right and uh you think about this when you coming to a when it comes to a subject like that
right
it's really true women have come a long way and you know
