I think women are itching to get back to work. Not all women mind you but many aren’t satisfied sitting at home watching the children. Women want to have careers we want to be known for being good at what we do and that isn’t just care giving. Corporate America will have to do some readjusting before it can lure a large percentage of women back into the work force and I think work life will be radically changed in the next few years. Time has not proven to be kind to women in the work force, and there has been more of a push to gain credit, and recognition in the work place in the past years. The way the economy is and the need for jobs will push women back into work and also have them taking less time off which isn’t fixing the problem but it is a great way to make strides so that future more economically stable women and men can make flexible hours and get the careers they want.

Women are already taking back their careers, more women are getting an education and more are venturing out into male dominated professions. Women are becoming more business savy, due to more education and more of an economic need. The cost of living is expensive and many women have husbands who are out of jobs, or are raising children by themselves so their need to work and to get good work with good pay has increased. More of them are carving out a notch in the work force because it is a necessity and others are refusing to take lower pay, worse hours, or be bullied into generally female labor like being just a secretary. More then likely the receptionist sitting at the front desk will run her own business or work her way because she is going back to school. Women cannot possibly be going back to school and enrolling for the fun of it. They are planning on having careers and going into the work force. We may not be able to lure back women but we can most defiantly make use out of the younger generations ambitions.
