I'm updated a manuscript for publication and I need to update some
information:

1. In 1990, 31% of all women in the labor force worked in three
occupations: teaching, nursing and secretarial (stats from US Dept. of
Labor) Does anyone know the current numbers on that. I'm poking around
the DOL website, but it's tough to navigate gov't websites. (I'm
writing about nursing moms in the workplace and how many of them work
in public spaces where it is hard to pump without making special space
and coverage arrangements)

2. Re: Family and Medical Leave act, does anyone know if there have
been any course cases to test the implications of the law for pregnant
and nursing women.

Thanks for any info you all can provide.
