Women Labor

Lots of things went on during world war2 back in 1939. Men had to go to the military to fight in the war, and many jobs started to lose workers. Many working spots opened to other people. So they needed workers to meet the military and the industrial needs. Now that’s when the Women labor took effect because women wanted to work because “by 1944 8 million were laboring in war industries” (MC DOUGAL LITTLE, 565). Some reasons the companies were worried about women working for them was because they thought that women were going to lack on their jobs

Back then the percentage of American women had to stop working at home because the companies in the work world needed workers because all the men went to war (ww2). So that made it harder for the mothers to take care of their children and teach them how to be good people. Most of the women travel to Washington D.C to get office jobs that was open to worker in non- traditional working fields. Some of the women had to work lower class jobs because they were lower class women meaning that they was poor and didn’t have much. For the other middle class women that had middle class jobs had to work and some of the jobs were factorys, helping with the military stuff. Plus they said only “Negros” would only be janitors because they were black.

Most of the women were taking seriously cause they wanted to get treated liked the men as if they we’re working. They had poster of Rosy that showed a picture that it was natural for women to work. Then as time went on some of the companies started to notice that the women we’re working hard and started to praise them. But when the war was over many women was laid off the jobs. Why? Because the man had came back to take over the jobs were the left off at.

Women to go through a lot of things to get jobs during world war 2 and to see how far they’ve came is very good to know about.
