Many American women are earning money outside their homes today. Among women who are eighteen to sixty-four years old, more than fifty per cent have jobs. In general, working women have had more education then those who stay at home. Of those who work, thirty-two per cent have attended college, compared with twenty per cent of those who do not have jobs. Among women with jobs, eight out of ten drive a car to work, and eight per cent took a vacation a way from home during the past year. Much of their traveling was by air. These figures come from a report which was written for advertisers. The report gives advertisers a new picture of women today. For instance, it tells advertisers that fifty-one per cent of all American women have traveled by air-along with fifty-nine per cent of all American men. The lesson for American business is that many women now have other interests in addition to their homes. They like advertisements which show women in office, planes, and cars. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

According to the American Automobile Association, since 1964 all cars sold in the United States have been equipped with seat belts. (These are also called safety belts.) Mary studies of automobile accidents have shown that safety belts can save lives. One study showed that forty percent of those killed in auto accidents could have been saved if they had been wearing seat belts. Unfortunately belts are worn only by a small percentage of drivers and passengers-about fifteen percent in cities, and only nine percent in small towns. And safety belts cannot protect people who do not wear them. In order to find out what kinds of people do wear seat belts a study was made in several cities of the United States. The following facts were learned about those who use their safety belts: 1. They do not smoke while driving. 2. They have had more education than non-users. 3. They know someone who was injured(but not killed)in an automobile accident. Advertisements based on these facts have been printed in newspapers and magazines in order to teach people the importance of using seat belts. But these advertisements have not helped much. Some people believe there should be a law requiring drivers and passengers to use safety belts. In Australia, where there is such a law, deaths in auto accidents have decreased twenty-four percent. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
