Betty Friedan, a founding member of the National Women's Political Caucus (1971), said the NWPC was organized "to make policy not coffee". Unfortunately there are still a lot of women making coffee. Of the 20 leading employment areas for women, as identified by the US Dept. of Labor, the majority of them are low paying clerical, child care and service work areas. While women make up 46% of the workforce, the median weekly earnings of women who were full-time wage and salary workers were $614, or 80 percent of men’s $766.On a bright note, women outnumber men as financial managers!
