Like in hospitals or schools in the 90’s there would be allot of woman workers because that is what the woman would do for work when they were not married or had children but married or woman with children would not have jobs because they either had another provider for the family or they had to take care of their child or children. These days you still don't see many male teachers because men usually are either builders, doctors or another occupation. These days you can drop of your children at day care, after school care or hire a baby sitter or nanny but many of these items weren't open for thought 60 odd years ago.
