Of the 108 million women age 16 or over who were part of the 1999 civilian noninstitutional U.S. population, 65 million (about 60%) were either employed or actively looking for work. In 1999, black, white, and Hispanic women participated in the labor force at rates of 63.5%, 59.6%, and 55.9%, respectively. According to projections, women will constitute 48% of the labor force in 2008. Rates of women's labor force participation by educational levels in 1999 were as follows: less than a high school diploma, 31.9%; high school diploma, 55.9%; some college, 66.1%; and college graduate, 74.8%.
