Changes During WWII

1. Unemployment decreased; A decrease in unemployment is the most important change to me because once the Great Depression hit, a lot of people lost their jobs and the unemployment rates were really high. So a decrease shows a major change in both the economy and society. “The war put America back to work” (Chudacoff 216).

2. Military spending increased urban growth

3. Wages and Salaries increased

4. Mexicans were allowed in the United States on short term work contracts

5. Increase in working women
