WORKING MOTHERS AND CHILD CARE
In 2003, 63 percent of mothers with preschool-aged children (younger
than 6 years) were in the labor force (either employed or looking
for work), and 58 percent were actually employed. Of those mothers,
70 percent worked full-time and 30 percent worked part-time. Of
women with children ages 6-17, 78 percent were in the labor force
in 2003 and nearly all of those were actually employed. Among these
employed mothers, 77 percent worked full-time and 23 percent worked
part-time.
