Answer 1
They're allowed to work; and many do. The only restrictions are those that apply in any case, such as the need to dress modestly and to refrain from situations in which a man might feel free to make inappropriate advances.
Answer 2
In many ultra-religious communities, Orthodox Jewish women are often the primary wage earners and will often have at least a Bachelor's Degree if not a Master's Degree. This is because the husband will be busy learning Torah at the Kollel (Yeshivah), so the wife needs to work to put food on the table. Though the husband is paid a stipend, two paychecks are often needed in today's world to get by.

Why do the Orthodox Jewish women wear wigs?
Some Ultra Orthodox Jewish women wear wigs after marriage over their hair or a shaved head. Most Jewish Orthodox women will cover their hair in some way with a scarf, hat or some other covering. The reason is to be modest and because they no longer need to attract other men when they are no longer available. For example, wearing a ring is done by many people across the world to show you are married and no longer available. There are many traditions and levels of Orthodoxy within Judaism but the principles are about modesty and elevating the spiritual and not emphasising the outward physical appearance (like in the media today).
