Medal Awarded and become a fan! :)

At one point during WW2, the percentage of women among US industrial workers was rising in every individual industry, but falling overall. Total employment was rising most rapidly in heavy industry, where few women were employed, so male employment rose faster even though women were gaining in every industry.

TRUE or FALSE?

Please give explanation!
