Thanks to Dave - Women's Labor Force Participation

OK, so many thanks to Dave at the beloved US Postal Service he found a chart that shows the bump in the labor force participation of women in WWII.

Previous to this, Mollie tendered an excellent argument that the origins of women entering the labor force was due to Rosie the Rivetter, not the women's liberation movement. But it seems labor force participation dropped back to normal levels after the conclusion of WWII.



Regardless, Dave is now officially donned a junior deputy economist for the speed in which he got the chart!

ALL HAIL DAVE!
