	Without disputing this OR its significance, I would be
very interested in seeing corresponding figures for men and/or
what percentage of American women are in the workforce.  The wording
makes it clear (at least to me) that this is 3.5% of all American
women whether or not they are working, want to work, or are able
to work.
