Washington, DC… National Women\u2019s History Month traces its roots to March 8, 1857, when women from various New York City factories staged a protest over poor working conditions. The first Women’s Day celebration in the United States was in 1909, also in New York City. More than seven decades later, Congress in 1981 established National Women’s History Week to be commemorated annually the second week of March. In 1987, Congress expanded the week to a month, and every year since has passed a resolution (and the president has issued a proclamation) designating March Women\u2019s History Month.<\/p>\n

Below are stats from Census Bureau surveys highlighting how women\u2019s employment has changed over the years. We appreciate the public\u2019s cooperation in helping us measure America\u2019s people, places and economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
