The argument over women working is over.Thirty years ago one third of workers were women; that number is now nearly half. Rather than increasing conflict or competition between the sexes, more than three quarters of Americans (75% of men, 77% of women) view this as positive for society; only 19% say it's a negative.

Ninety-two percent of men and 96% of women call "being healthy" very important to them; being financially secure is very important to 74% of men and 81% of women; having a fulfilling job, 73% men, 72% women.
