In the beginning of the 1970s, when women did join the labor force in greater numbers, admittedly the macroeconomic conditions were bad (oil crisis), so it is hard to filter that out.
But still, mostly we have more workers, which lowers wages and leads to the creation of more bullshit jobs. To be clear, also men create and perform bullshit jobs!
Now it takes two salaries to finance a house and a family. Great progress.
At the supermarket, I boycott automated self-checkouts even if the lines are long so the nice cashiers keep their jobs.
