Detailed tabulations are now available which provide fertility statistics by selected characteristics for women 15 to 44 years old in the United States, based on the June 1995 Current Population Survey. These tables provide information such as:

• In 1995, women 15 to 44 years old had an average of 1.2 children each.
• About 42 percent of women in the same age group were childless in 1995.
• About 55 percent of women who had a child in the preceding 12-months were in the labor force.
