Question

Does anyone know a statistic regarding the number of mums at work NOW versus say, 20 years ago?

Answer 1

66.2% now versus 5.8% 20 years ago.

I call them the "Day Care Generation."  We will all be royally screwed in another 15 years as all these dysfunctional brats reach adulthood.

Answer 2

Since twenty years has passed I'd say it went from 20% to a whopping 74% of mothers at work.  They make a large dent in workforce and they do it while raising a family.  A difficult task by any standards.
