[听力原文] Women are on their way to holding more than half of all American jobs. The latest government report shows that their share of nonfarm jobs reached nearly 50% in September. Not only have more and more women entered the labor market over the years, but the recession has been harder on men. In October, the unemployment rate for men was almost 11% compared to 8% for women. Industries that traditionally use lots of men have suffered deep cuts. For example, manufacturing and building lost more jobs last month. But health care and temporary employment services have job growth. Both of those industries employ high percentages of women. Thirty years ago, women earned 62 cents for every dollar that men earned. Now, for those who usually work full time, women earn about 80% of what men earn. And women hold 51% of good-paying management and professional jobs. Yet a study released Thursday said men still hold about nine out of every ten top positions at the 400 largest companies in California. The results have remained largely unchanged in five years of studies from the University of California, Davis. Also, a new research paper in the journal Sex Roles looks at the experiences of women who are the main earners in their family. Rebecca Meisenbach at the University of Missouri in Columbia interviewed 15 women. She found they all valued their independence and many enjoyed having the power of control, though not all wanted it.
