The Great Depression affected so many people, especially workers. it began with the stock market crash of October 1929, which caused a whole bunch of problems, including a ton of workers being laid off. Which is what im mainly focusing on since this obviously effected workers. -
The war actually opened up a lot of opportunities for minorities and women, since they were trying to get as many people as possible to join in the war. It opened up a lot of good paying jobs that they wouldn't of been able to get before. And if they were a soldier, they were given the same rate of pay too. -
world war two was actually pretty good for women, because they were given roles and jobs during world war two. a lot were nurses, but apparently according to the picture below there were women soldiers too. -
World War Two ended on May 8th, 1945, and this negatively affected a lot of workers. A lot of people making munitions lost their job, because they didnt really need any of that stuff, and some factories were also shut down. -
When the war ended some workplaces shut down and some people lost their jobs, but a lot of women were taken out of the workforce, maybe because some people thought they werent needed in the workforce anymore. -
World War Two was important for minorities because they were treated pretty fairly as a soldier. they got the same pay and even got veteran benefits as well. On July 26 1948 the president passed an order giving minorities equal rights and treatment in the military.
