Women in the Workforce Declining

"The number of women in the workplace has been declining for several years...a Congressional study released today found that women aren't "opting out" of the workforce to raise children. For the first time in nearly a half-century, they are being forced onto the sideline by bad economic times." I wonder how many of those women are in information technology or the field of Public Relations http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Parenting/story?id=5424072&page=1.
