World War II transformed the nation in the way it looked at the traditional roles of women in the workplace. Between 1941 and 1945, six million women joined the labor force during the war (Sullivan ).
. Between 1900 and 1915, more than 15 million immigrants arrived in the United States (“Immigrants”).
In 1900, only six percent of married women worked outside the home, as a result of their husbands likely being unemployed (“The First”).
One report from the Philadelphia Employment bureau stated that between 1932 and 1933, 68 percent of the jobs posted were for “white only” job offers (Beach).
