Millennial women are participating in the U.S. job market at levels not seen in nearly 20 years, according to a Bloomberg report.
The report states that women between the ages of 25 and 34 accounted for more than 76% of people either working or actively looking for work, citing numbers from the Bureau of Labor statistics for December of 2018.
