Women 2
Following World War II the proportion of women who were employed in factories dropped drastically. This was partly due to the fact that many men were coming home form fighting in the war, and took their old jobs back. Federal and state aid to child-care centers in factories was stopped. By 1952 more than two million more women were employed than in 1946. The kinds of work available to women were changing though. For African American women, the amount of employed domestic servants dropped from 72 to 48 percent. The number of those women working as farm laborer’s fell from 20 percent to 7 percent. The percentage of hired by the factories rose from 7 percent to 18 percent. The rise of women being employed did not mean that women were gaining economic equality though. Women in industries earned less than two-thirds as much as men.
