Men's and women's lives have changed dramatically over the past few decades. Behind the change is the rise of a new economy based on services rather than manufacturing, which rewards the educated and encourages women to go to work. The changes in the roles of men and women have been nothing short of revolutionary, affecting every institution in our society, from the family to the workplace, from politics to the consumer marketplace.
American Men and its companion volume American Women bring you the numbers behind the changes so you can compare and contrast the sexes. Recently released economic census data on business ownership is a valuable addition to these volumes. Each book is organized so you can quickly locate the data you're looking for, data which have been compiled into meaningful tables with time-saving calculations and descriptive text.
