Department of Labor Statistics
This site is one of the positive ones we have, the U.S. Department of Labor statistics, showing the raise in jobs, occupations, and how the pay levels have raised throughout a few years.  If you feel like you are going into an occupation, it is also a good site to determine if there is a good amount of income.  If you are looking for a large amount of information, then this is the site for you!

Catalyst
Catalyst has a great number of visuals and graphs that show the top positions of women in the workplace, such as fortune 500 companies, and how they have changed throughout the years.  It is quite the site for more of the visual understanding, and would be perfect for anyone who learns more with seeing than other forms of explanations.

Encyclopedia.com
Want to view the history of what it was like for women back in the 1930s? Hit up this site and see for yourself.  History is an important part of any study and life in general.  If you gain a better understanding of the past, then understanding the present and future will be easier for you.

The Economist
/The Economist provides a more money fueled view of the stratification of women, but it is still a viable source.  It holds information on the economic reasons of a woman's class compared to a man's and shows certain connections between countries and their male to female employment ratios.  This is what can help us understand other countries and how their cultures and governments influence their own employment ratios.

The American Progress
This site helps show the rising demographics of women and how they are increasing along with other demographics, such as the race and ethnicity. It is over all the best site that shows graphs of minorities in general in the workforce, and how they are slowly rising in America, creating equality.
