The reason: too few part-time jobs for women with families, and the ones that exist often pay poorly and do not offer health insurance or other benefits.

Clarkberg's research showed that both men and women would often like to work something less than a standard 40- or 50-hour week. Among the findings: 43 percent of men and 34 percent of women said they work more hours than they want to. The number is smaller for women only because one-quarter of them don't have paying jobs. Half of all the women and 20 percent of the men said they wished they could work part time. However, just 20 percent of the women and 6 percent of the men did this.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) Bulletin from the job front: People work more than they want to. A new study of two-career couples finds that the number of hours they spend on the job has risen substantially in the past two decades. And they don't like it. "People are working longer hours, and it's not because they want to," said Marin Clarkberg, a Cornell University sociologist.

Clarkberg and other researchers presented their latest findings on the work-family time squeeze yesterday at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Both sexes feel stressed by the competing demands of job and home. But in some ways, the situation can seem worse for women, said because they THIS DATE, THIS CENTURY 5734400 Tucson Newspapers Tax man cometh W.Va. targeting chewing tobacco Tucson Newspapers is the Star's agent for business matters, including delivery, advertising and printing.

West Virginia has the nation's highest percentage of men who chew tobacco 18.4 percent, compared with the national average of 7.2 percent.

In one county, 54 percent of men chew. Delegate Greg Butcher, a strip miner, said miners often chew tobacco to moisten their mouths in the dusty atmosphere. "Their daddies used it and their granddaddies used it," Butcher said. Smokeless tobacco is cheap and has more nicotine than cigarettes. Kids tend to get hooked early in West Virginia, said Sara Crickenberger, executive director of the state's American Lung Association chapter.

Underwood has proposed a 25 percent tax. Chewing tobacco in West Virginia sells for about $2.50 a can. CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) In the state that leads the nation in chewing tobacco use, where even children are often given a can of their own, the governor is proposing to capitalize on the habit by taxing it. Republican Gov.

Cecil Underwood, a former board member of the American Cancer Society, sees it as a health issue. He wants $5 million of the anticipated $7 million revenue from the tax to pay the state's share of a program for children without health insurance. He's running into opposition on both sides of the legislative aisle. Republicans oppose increasing taxes, and many Democrats say chewing tobacco is a part of West Virginia's culture, something that grew in popularity in part because smoking is banned in the coal mines.
