The Role of Working-Class Women in a Changing Economy

This article examines shifts in the economic roles of working-class women in married-couple households during the 1980s. It reviews aggregate economic data from that decade and presents the results of a case study of 102 blue-collar families who experienced changes in employment and earnings because of a recession brought on by the loss of manufacturing jobs. The study found that as jobs in the goods- producing sector declined and the earnings of the blue-collar men dropped, the employment rates for the women rose, and the women assumed a stronger economic role in their families.
