What is the number of women in the workforce for the last census year or for the current year?

Answer 1

Goto the US Census and find out.

Answer 2

You can get that information and more by going to the Census Bureau's site:

http://www.census.gov

They have data and summaries both from the last census, and from surveys they take between the censuses.

Answer 3

I also had a problem finding quanities as oppsed to percentages. Maybe some of this will help.

The data 1980 to 2004 is in an excel file here:

http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/comparative_international_statistics/labor_force/

Year % of all females in workforce
1980........59.7
1981.........60.6
1982.........61.4
1983...........61.9
1984..........62.9
1985...........64.0
1986..........65.1
1987.........66.2
1988..........67.1
1989.........68.3
1990..........68.5
1991..........68.8
1992........69.3
1993........69.5
1994........69.8
1995.........70.7
1996..........71.0
1997.........71.3
1998.........71.3
1999.........71.7
2000......71.7
2001..........70.7
2002.........No Data
2003..........70.4
2004........69.8

There is another table that you can get male data from, so you can compare certain years:

http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/tables/07s1340.xls

Date% Females% Males

1980 .........59.7 ...............72.0
1985......... 64.0 ..............70.9
1990.......... 68.5 ................72.0
1991......... 68.8 ................... 70.4
1994........... 69.8 ............... 70.4
1995.......... 70.7 .................. 70.8
1996.......... 71.0 ................ 70.9
1998.......... 71.3 ............... 71.6
1999 ..........71.7 ............. 71.6
2001......... 70.7 .............. 70.9
2003......... 70.4 .............. 68.9
2004........ 69.8 ................. 69.2
