The female work force increased 320 percent between 1940 and 1970, as evidenced in both urban and rural areas. This study analyzes the time a woman is willing to supply in the labor market and factors influencing that supply- -wage rate, residence, education, family income, and others. Results indicate that the wage in SMSA - nonfarm areas must exceed that in non SMSA nonfarm areas by $.85 for women to work an equal number of hours.
