Abstract
This article presents an overview of recent economic trends in the labor force behavior of men and women. The author focuses on the factors that play a role in a woman's decision to join the work force and presents data to illustrate the current labor situation. The author concludes that government mandated minimum wages and benefits are detrimental, rather than beneficial, to low-skilled workers.
