Abstract	A survey of 13,582 employees of 261 employers was conducted in Iowa to determine if women are underemployed (i.e., not employed in positions or at pay levels commensurate with their education, previous work experience and aspirations) and underutilized (i.e., not employed in certain types and levels of positions to the same extent as their availability in the work force). The findings, based on 5,995 responses, reveal that women in Iowa are underutilized and underemployed in certain occupations and at certain pay levels. Specifically, it was found that women are (1) underutilized in laborer, operative, craft and technical positions, (2) underutilized in managerial and supervisory positions, (3) underutilized at pay levels from $10,000 to $17,500, (4) underemployed (when compared to men) in terms of years in their current positions in office/clerical positions, (5) underemployed (when compared to men) in terms of years in their current positions at pay levels under $10,000, and (6) underemployed (when compared to men) in terms of years with their current employer at pay levels under $15,000. Also, college educated women, when compared to college educated men, are underemployed in managerial positions and at pay levels above $10,000. (Fifty-three tables of data are included in the text of this report. The survey form, an outline of employer interview data to be used in a future project, and ninety-five tables of utilization, employment, aspirational, mobility, and job satisfaction data are appended.)
