A new poll highlights sexual harassment in Iowa workplaces. The Des Moines Register/ Mediacom Iowa Poll shows 24 percent of Iowa women who have been employed outside the home in the past three years say they have been sexually harassed at work. Forty-one percent of Iowa women who have ever worked outside the home say they've been subjected to workplace sexual harassment. A similar poll conducted in 1988 found only 11 percent of Iowa women had been sexually harassed in the workplace over the past three years.
