HURON COUNTY - Over 5 million Cana-
dian women are in the paid labor force. Bet-
ween 1966 and 1982 it grew 119.4 percent
comparably, the male labor force only grew
35.6 percent in the same time period. Accor-
ding to the 1981 Census, 46 percent of the
female population in Huron County, over the
age of 15 years, were employed.
Keeping these statistics in mind, Women
Today, whose goal is to raise the status and
awareness of women in Huron County, is
offering a one day conference to determine,
explore and discuss employment issues that
are of concern to women in Huron County.
On October 18, Women At Work will offer
registrants the opportunity to participate in
two seminars of their choice in an inter-
active format. This refers to the par-
ticipants asking the questions and determin-
ing the direction the seminar will take.
In September, 1984, about 60 percent of all
employed women were in clerical, sales or
service related occupations with only eight
percent in managerial or administrative
positions, nationally.
John Gillespie, Manager of the
Canada Employment Centre in Godericch
will be discussing the Future Labor Market
in Huron County, while Sheila Chick, will of-
fer a seminar on "Non -Traditional Employ-
ment" for women.
It is estimated by the year 2000, two out of
every three females over the age of 20 will
be in the labor force. Kim Coulter, Co-
ordinator for London based womenpower
will be involving women who are interested
ineither obtaining or changing employment
in her seminar Job Search Skills, while
Cathy Joyce, from London's Women's Com-
munity Enterprises will be leading the

single women, on a national level, was 64
percent in 1983, while 52.3 percent of mar-
ried and 36.1 percent of those who were
either divorced, separated or widowed par-
ticipate in the labor force. Young women
cannot depend on being `taken care of' all
their lives, as three out of four women either
never marry or lose their husbands through
divorce, separation or death. Famela Stone,
a Clinton native, will assist women with
Planning their Financial Futures.
Debbie Selkirk, a Goderich care activist will
be discussing the Childcare issue with
Huron County women, while Susan White

their concerns on these important issues.
