Women in the Workforce

Road and Travel Magazine posted this reprint of an article from 1943 on hiring women in the transportation industry. My how times have changed!! My favorite recommendations:

• Pick young married women. They are less likely to be flirtatious.
• General experience indicates that "husky" girls - those who are just a little on the heavy side - are more even-tempered and efficient than their underweight sisters.
• Give the female employee a definite daylong schedule of duties so that they will keep busy without bothering the management ... they lack initiative in finding work themselves.

Thanks, Jish, for the link!
