  By the early 19th century the factory system had spread to the U.S. The first cotton factory was built in 1814, and by 1850 some 24 percent of workers were women. They produced clothing, shoes, cigars, and other things. In the Northeast, newly-arrived women with little education became the factory force. In the South, black women moved into factory and domestic(家庭的)jobs, first as slaves and later as free workers.

  By 1890 nearly 4 million women in the U.S. worked for pay. This represented(代表)18 percent of the female population aged 14 and 17 percent of the total work force. Half the female workers were under 25 years of age, and seven out of ten were single. Most of them worked in domestic service, teaching positions, and textile(紡織的)factories; only about 5 percent were secretaries, clerks, or salespersons.

  Recent years have seen a rapid increase in the number of women joining the paid labour force in the U.S. Today, almost 54 percent of all women of working age are employed. Over 50 percent of working women are married, and 60 percent of working wives have school--aged children.

Women are on their way to holding more than half of all American jobs. The latest government report shows that their share of nonfarm jobs nearly reached fifty percent in September.
Not only have more and more women entered the labor market over the years, but the depression has been harder on men. In October the unemployment rate for men was almost eleven percent compared to eight percent for women.
Industries that traditionally use lots of men have suffered deep cuts. For example, manufacturing and building lost more jobs last month. But health care and temporary employment services have had job growth. Both of those industries employ high percentages of women.
Thirty years ago, women earned sixty-two cents for every dollar that men earned. Now, for those who usually work full time, women earn about eighty percent of what men earn. And women hold fifty-one percent of good-paying management and professional jobs.
Yet a study released Thursday said men still hold about nine out of every ten top positions at the four hundred large companies in California. The results have remained largely unchanged in live years of studies from the University of California, Davis.
Also, a new research paper in the journal Sex Roles looks at the experiences of women who are the main earners in their family. Rebecca Meisenbach at the University of Missouri in Columbia interviewed fifteen women. She found they all valued their independence and many enjoyed having the power of control, though not all wanted it.
But they also felt pressure, worry and guilt. Partly that was because of cultural expectations that working women will still take care of the children. Also, men who are not the main earners may feel threatened.
The job market continues to suffer the effects of last year’s financial crash. Now, a judgment has been reached in the first case involving charges of criminal wrongdoing on Wall Street.
Last week, the government lost its case against two managers at Bear Stearns, the first investment bank to fail last year. A jury found Ralph Cioffi and Matthew Tannin not guilty of lying to investors.
The hedge funds they supervised lost their value in two thousand seven. But jurors said there was no clear evidence that they meant to mislead investors.
The Justice Department continues to investigate other companies.
【小題1】Why is the unemployment rate for men higher.

A.Because there are more men workers in industries.
B.Because many industries mainly employing men now don’t need so many workers.
C.More and more women take the place of men.
D.Because health care and temporary employment services don’t employ men.
【小題2】It can be inferred from the passage that __________.
A.women haven’t got complete equality as men
B.only by becoming the main earners in their family can women gain a high position
C.all women now value independence and the power of control
D.taking care of children is now shared by men and women
【小題3】Which of the following is TRUE?
A.Men hate that women earn more money.
B.It is commonly believed that women should take care of children.
C.The job market has recovered from the effect of the financial crisis.
D.Now women working full time earn more than men.
【小題4】 Why does the government accuse two managers?
A.They contributed to the financial crash.
B.They led a corrupt life.
C.They lied to investors.
D.A jury found them misleading investors.
