ONTARIO DEPARTh11NT OF TRAI
The last 20 years have seen
a phenomenal increase in the
number of working women in
Ontario, and today the female
labor force approaches the
1, 000, 000 mark. Married
women represent most of this
increase, and, indeed, one in
four housewives is now at work.
Before World War II, the fig-
ure was one in 20.
The main reason for this is
probably economic. A second
income is often a necessity,
particularly if the young couple
or family is striving for an
objective such as a down pay-
ment on a house. In other
cases, a second income prov-
ides the "extras" that we all
like to have.
Technological and sociolog-
ical changes have released
women for participation in the
country's economic life. Other
factors are that families are
being raised earlier, and the
life expectancy is longer.
All these factors have raised
the average age of women
workers in Ontario. No longer
is the typical working girl
young and single. The average
working woman today is 37,
and she will probably work
until retirement.
And the occupations of these
women? According to studies
by the Ontario Department of
Labour, one out of three does
clerical work, which includes
everything from filing clerk
to executive secretary or office
manager. The next largest
group --22 percent --is in serv-
ice work, which includes wait-
resses, hospital employees,

it) policewomen!
Seventeen per cent of the
female labor force is in the
professional and technical cat-
egory. But three-quarters of
the women in professions are
teachers and nurses.
The importance of the fem-
ale labor force will continue
to increase because the type
of work women are doing is
expanding. The educational,
health and recreation services,
as well as commercial and
financial sectors, are the key
growth areas of the economy.
And this is where women work.
To assist and guide house-
wives wishing to return to the
labor force, counselling serv-
ice is provided by the Wom-
en's Bureau, Ontario Depart-
ment of Labour. While job
placement is not a function of
the bureau, counsellors provide
information on training and
likely areas of employment.
A helpful brochure, How to
Find the Job You Want, is
available free. It offers the
housewife guidance in resolv-
ing her specific situation,
assessing skills, finding job
leads and how to apply for
a job.
Another publication, Hap-
piness is the Right Career,
points out that a girl in high
school today may work as long
as 25 to 35 years, with time
out for marrying and raising
a family. The publication

TANK TO DISAPPEAR - A landmark in Zurich for many years,
this old wooden water storage tank will disappear this year with
the re -construction program slated for the village's water system.
In use since about 1938, the tank has now become rotten around
the bottom and inside, as well. It will be replaced by an under-
ground cement storage tank, close to the same location as the
present structure.
emphasizes the importance •
of training in order to find
work that is stimulating, sat-
isfying and financially re-
warding. It outlines employ-
ment opportunities for women
in both their first and second
working careers.

and other information, can
