(PRWEB) April 25, 2004 --The Internet is now viewed as a helpful tool--and then some--for women with responsibilities inside and outside the home.

As measured by Jupiter Research this year:
•   63% of all U.S. women are online, and this number will increase to 70% by 2006
A recent study conducted by Nielsen/Net Ratings found that:
•   60% of working women who use the Web say they dont have enough time for their personal lives
•   70% of working moms who use the Web say they dont have enough time for their personal lives

While TV and print are seen as time sappers, the Internet helps working women use their precious moment more efficiently. I am able to take care of many business and personal issues online while Im thinking about them and have the time," notes one study participant. I can run errands, shop, pay bills, research for work, etc.--all within a shorter span of time than if I was actually out and about running those errands," writes another.

Further, shopping and product research appears to be the Webs most relevant purpose for working women:
•   90% say they can do more product research via the Internet than offline
•   87% say product research is made easier online

However, some women want help making decisions online. According to the monthly BIGresearch Consumer Intentions and Action Study, married women between the ages of 35 and 44 are much less satisfied with the clothing options available to them than their single counterparts -- particularly when it comes to price. Among an 8,000 consumer panel, ratings were given to statements, such as I cant find my size," I cant find clothes that fit within my budget," and I cant find a style that is fashionable today."
