This is an interesting story about Women in Traverse City, Michigan as profiled on CBS Sunday Morning on May 14, 2006.

Read about Women - smashing the glass ceiling or watch/listen to the video - Smashing the Glass Ceiling.

In the video and the transcript, the survey conducted in April 2006: WOMEN: WORK, FAMILY AND FEMINISM is refered to with work/life balance issues like:

DO MOST WOMEN WORK BECAUSE THEY NEED TO OR BECAUSE THEY WANT TO? (Among women)

Need to -- 75%
Want to -- 13%

I find that hard to believe... but maybe because I would have selected "want to" instead of need to... What do you think? Do most women work because they need to or want to?
