They could expect to make less money, if they were even allowed to work at the samejobs at all. Back then, jobs were segregated by sex. Newspapers frequently had two classifications for employment ads: "Help wanted, male" and "Help wanted, female". It was legal to pay women less back then, and it was legal to refuse to hire someone because she was a woman (or nonwhite, or of a different religion, etc.)
Women could expect to be fired if they became pregnant. For many jobs, as soon as a woman married, she was fired, too. For instance, teachers and nurses had to stay single if they wanted to stay employed.
Many states had laws restricting when and where and for how long women could work. This was done, supposedly, to protect them, but in fact it just limited their income opportunities.
