    Where did they go?

    Switchboard operators
    Key punch operators
    Stenographers

    A half century ago women (and that's not sexist; they were ALL women) with minimal education could get a job that was a cut above waitress in a greasy spoon. Where do they work today?

    (Any one who answers "dancer in a topless bar" will get a lump of coal in their Christmas stocking).

    Call centres, where they ignore everything that you say and then transfer you to the wrong department

    Some are still doing the same job. I know hard to believe.

    Another works retail. While one makes more money as a grocery sales clerk. A lot went into that for the higher pay. Walked off as a exec secretary to running a cash register and got a $3 a hour pay raise. Do not blame her!
