Can corporate America lure the women back into the workforce? Well I think that all depends on one major thing, does America wants women back in the workforce? Now, a majority of people’s first reaction is going to be yes, but I think that is only because people think that is what they are suppose to say and women do not want an answer of what people are suppose to say. Of course corporate America can lure women back into the workforce, especially now since we are in a recession, but is America willing to give women the things they want in order to get them into the workforce, or are they going to just take advantage of them and get them back in not matter what? I think if America wants to lure women back into the workforce all they really have to do is make them some promises, tell them things they want to hear and boom, they are back in, but are they going to be able to keep them in? Women these days are much more powerful and independent then they were ten years ago. Yes of course they do not have as much power as they would like, but they are working on it. I think in order for America to get women back in the workforce AND keep them there, it is going to take some compromise and better understanding of women.


I think in order for America to lure women back in they are going to have to promise equality and show it. I think women are going to need higher positions and higher pay; they are going to want to earn just as much as men and be given the same tasks as men and it is not hard to find out exactly what men are paid and what they do. I also think women are going to need more respect towards motherhood and how they want to balance their family life and work life. If things like that are taken into consideration I think America can lure women back into the workforce, but if things are going to keep going the way they are going they are going to lose more women and it is going to be even more harmful to our economy.
