Well, during this period of time, manufacturing jobs started increasing because of the war! Men started leaving their lives in the United States and started storming out to war, and this led to women taking over these jobs. This is why we see the "Rosie the Riveter" posters during this period of time. Just remember, we don’t declare war up until December 8th 1941, when Pearl Harbor was attacked and President Roosevelt signed the Declaration of War.
