During the Great Depression, women in the labor force faced significant challenges as economic hardship led to increased competition for jobs, often prioritizing male workers due to societal norms that viewed them as primary breadwinners. Many women who were employed in low-paying jobs experienced layoffs and wage cuts, further exacerbating their economic vulnerability. Additionally, societal pressures pushed many women to leave the workforce to care for their families, as traditional gender roles were reinforced during this time. Despite these challenges, some women continued to seek work, contributing to the labor force in various ways, including through the informal economy.
