영문 초록

Women in the United States represent 50.7 percent of the population and 49.83 percent of the US labor force. While they continue to outpace men in the number of college degrees conferred annually, they hold fewer board seats and executive level positions than men in US corporations and higher education institutions. Women also receive 80 cents for every dollar earned by men. For working women who want to start a family, prohibitive factors may outweigh supportive factors for finding balance/harmony in the workplace and daily life. Career interruptions can derail promotions and raises as well as affect re-entry into the employment sector and long-term career advancement. With a weak global economy, there is a increasing national need for a more credential workforce. In fact, the Lumina Foundation (2009) reports “there will be a shortage of 16 million college educated adults in the American workforce by 2025” (p. 2). While women college graduates are poised to help decrease this shortage, it is important that employers develop innovative strategies to support working women and working mothers. This paper provides an overview of women and mothers in the US workforce as well as strategies for employers and for women to support balance/harmony in the workplace and daily life.
