The Center for Women and Work's National Commission on Working Women (NCWW) conducted a survey to gather information about women's work and home lives. The Commission was established in 1977 to address the needs of all working women, including those doing paid and volunteer work, full-time homemakers, and the unemployed planning to look for jobs. <br /><br /> The Survey of Working Women was published in eight national women's magazines and many labor publications in September, 1978. About 150,000 women mailed their questionnaires back to the NCWW, and the anonymous responses of 111,496 were analyzed.<br /><br /> Variables assessed include: (1) problems and concerns of employed women, as well as satisfaction with specific aspects of the job; (2) occupational differences among employed women; (3) overall satisfaction with job and lifestyle; (4) problems, concerns, and plans of nonemployed women; and (5) a range of demographic and economic characteristics. <br /><br /> The Murray Research Archive holds numeric file data from the study.
