A bstract . The rapid growth since 1970, and especially in the 1980s, of part‐time and temporary employment was attributed to the transition of the economy from manufacturing to service production and to labor demand side factors. Since part‐timers are predominantly women and the majority of the female labor force are married women, the association between the female labor force participation rate and the part‐time employment of married women across the 48 continental states of America in 1980 are explored. The empirical study supports the positive association between the two variables, but fails to support the role of the service sector in explaining part‐time employment of married women across the states of America
