I would guess from the way it's phrased that they mean any paid work that was reported as being done outside the home. I would guess a farm wife, for example, even if she was doing chores, and she surely would be, would not be counted as working outside the home- because she wouldn't be on a payroll. Or a women with a beauty parlor in her garage, who didn't report the income, probably wouldn't be counted. Seems to me they are probably using payrolls as evidence of working outside the home.

"Both campaigns know a lot about Virginia's 4.4 million registered voters. They know whether they've voted in a Democratic or Republican primary, how often they vote and which magazines they buy."

I finally figured out why I get all this material from the Republicans who, from the tone of the material, apparently think I am one of them. I voted in the Virginia primary years ago to cast my vote to stop your buddy Ollie. It's always bugged me why they send me this stuff since I've never given them a dime. (Never given a dime to the Dems, either.)

Of course in the more distant past both parents, and their kids, would probably be working as farmers. Also sometimes women would do work for others for money in the home. The homemaker Mom who didn't work for pay, combined with the Dad who worked in an office or factory seems to have occured a lot in say the mid 20th century, but its hardly like it was some ancient pattern which we are starting to deviate from for the first time in recent years.
