Ten million women are engaged in gainful occupations in the United States, it was estimated yesterday by ‘Willlam . M. Steuart, director of the census. Discussing the 1930 population enu- meration in a radio address over the Columbia Broadcasting System, Dr. Steuart said half of the women were producing tangible goods, while the other half were engaged in service oc- cupations of various kinds. “Women .are now engaged more ac- tively in industry, trade and office work.” he added, “than ever before in the history cf the country.” The census director also estimated that the total population of 122,000,000 is “mainly supported, so far as bread- Winnlnx is concerned,”. by about 47,000, J:erwns working about three-fourths | e time. The number of persons between 16 and 64 was placed at 38,000,000 men and 37,000,000 women and Dr. Steuart said 90 per cent cf the men and 25 per cent of the women were gainfully em- ployed. 23,000,000 Housekeepers. He gave the number of women en- in housekeeping as 23,000,000 with most of them doing the major part of this work, including the house- keepers, the director said about 90 per cent of the women could be classified as employed. The number of persons 65 or over was placed at 5,500,000 with 3,000,000 of them over 70.

Average Employment Time. Dr. Steuart said those employed did not work more than 275 davs a year on an average. He attributed this to vacations, sickness and part-time work. He commented that probably ‘“under present normal industrial and business conditions there are not more than 40,- 000,000 or 42,000,000 people in this country who, on a given day, are at work full time on a gainful ‘occupa- One-third of the total number of workers, the director said, are engaged in manufacturing or mechanical pur- suits, a larger number than in agri- culture, which employes approximately 10,000,000 persons. “From bein, prcdomhutely an agri- cultural people,” he added, ‘“we are coming to be predominately a manu- facturing people.” Less than 3 per cent of the tofal ‘workers were said to be engaged in mining, 7 per cent in transportation, 7 or 8 per cent engaged as clerks, stenographers, agents, bookkeepers and messenger boys; 5 per cent in pro- fessional service and 8 per cent in do- mestic and personal service.
