An insight of how drastically the workforce and workplace has changed over the last century in USA.
Recently, I’m sure you heard about “people don’t want to work” or “there’s a high increase in unemployment”, etc. A lot of changes and transformations are occurring regarding employment. Out of curiosity, I decided to take a look 100 years back into the workplace and workforce. Here are my findings:
The 1920s. Automobile Industry.
The 1920s represented an era of change and growth. The rapidly growing automobile industry provided a lot of jobs because of the machinery. By that time, women had to enter the workforce as a result of the industrial revolution. In 1920, women made up about 20% of the labor force, and many of them were involved in the manufacturing of apparel, food, and tobacco products.
After World War I, Europe was on the decline, while America was on the rise. American culture, like books, films, and Broadway theatre, was now exported worldwide. The decade was one of learning and exploration. As well as, helped to establish America’s position in respect to the rest of the world, through its creativity, industry, and inventions.
