During the 1970s, women were able to get decent paying jobs in both white-collar and blue-collar industries. Prior to this, women were forced to accept lower pay because it was assumed that they relied on their husbands for primary financial support. Daycare and after-school programs made it possible for women to work longer hours. With women entering the workforce, families were able to purchase larger homes, better cars, and more consumer goods. This changed the American standard-of-living, and led to the creation of the two-income household. Now, husbands either needed to make more money, or women needed to work.
