Decade - 1930s

In 1934, the average net income was $3,125.42 for a family, as reflected on tax returns. Airline pilots made $8,000 a year while a registered nurse made $936.

The Depression did little to alter the role of women in the American workplace. According to the 1930 census almost eleven million women, or 24.3 percent of all women in the country, were gainfully employed. Three out of every ten of these working women were in domestic or personal service. Of professional women three-quarters were schoolteachers or nurses. The 1940 census did not post dramatic changes in the numbers of working women: thirteen million women, or 25.4 percent of all women over the age of fourteen, worked. The greatest numbers of women continued to work in domestic service, with clerical workers just behind. Out of every ten women workers in 1940, three were in clerical or sales work, two were in factories, two in domestic service, one was a professional-a teacher or a nurse-and one was a service worker. Women in the 1930s in fact entered the workforce at a rate twice that of men-primarily because employers were willing to hire them at reduced wages. In unionized industries, however, women fared better. Women constituted 7 percent of all workers in the automobile industry and 25 percent of all workers in the electrical industry. The integrated International Ladies Garment Workers Union had 200,000 members and secured for pressers in Harlem high wages of $45 to $50 per week.

Here is some weekly wages (the averages) that I have found while researching this very same question:

Manufacturing-Production Worker $16.89

Cook $15

Doctor $61.11

Accountant $45

Hope this helps.

In most (advanced) countries the great majority of teenagers left school at 14 and went to work, often for quite low wages. Some got apprenticeships or some further training. They were expected to grow up quickly. There was practically no music or clothing specifically for teenagers.

In 1930s America, segregation was still a powerful reality. In the southern states, the infamous Jim Crow laws prevented African-Americans from enjoying the same privileges as most whites in the same region. Yet, even in such national institutions as the military, blacks and whites were quite distinctly separated, that is, segregated.

There was light at the end of the tunnel, the Great Depression and Dust Bowl years were behind the US, but war clouds were on the horizon.

actually this is wrong tottaly wrong pleasse correct this xxxx :)

Because the ruling French and British political establishment were first and foremost worried with the Soviet threat - and at that time, fascism was considered by many conservatives the only feasible way to avoid a communist revolution. Therefore, it has been speculated that the (in)famous appeasement policy that those countries followed was targeted at creating a strong Germany that could face the Soviet Union. But, with the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact of August 1939 (the No-Aggresion Pact between the Soviet Union and the German Reich), all hopes of playing both totalitarian powers against each other vanished.

It's just a theory, but it explains perfectly some Franco-British policies that at first sight may look illogical. An excellent essay by F. William Engdahl exploring the question at lenght is to be found here; if you are really interested in this topic it's a must-read:

Unemployment rates were high because it was the Great Depression. There was a huge economic downfall through out the whole world. Also the weather (in America) had taken a turn for the worse destroying agriculture which in turn made grown food too expensive to plant which caused farmers to lose both their jobs and their land.

It was very easy! almost like magic! so there you go so easy i could make out with it!

First, the 1930s was the decade of the great Depression, and millions of people were out of work. A small percentage at the top did well, but the vast majority of Americans were struggling. The average person who lived in a big city made more than someone working in a small or rural town. Also, some professions paid better than others-- even back then, people working in finance or real estate had a higher hourly wage (about 78 cents an hour) than people working in construction, who averaged 49 cents an hour.

For example, in New York City, in 1934, the average office worker made about $33 a week. On the other hand, someone who worked on a farm in 1934 could make as little as $11 a week. It should also be noted that white men made more than white women, and both white men and white women made more than black workers did. It should also be noted that what things cost back then was far less than what they cost today (a dozen eggs were about 33 cents; a half-gallon of milk was 22 cents, and a matinee at the movies cost 50 cents); so while it may not sound like much, $33 a week was actually a salary the average person could live on.

Horse drawn vehicles were still widely used in 1930, but by 1950 they were becoming much less common as trucks and cars became more affordable. Cross country travel would most likely be by bus or train. Passenger planes were available but jets were only for military purposes. Most trans-ocean transportation was by ship, but zeppelins made regular transatlantic flights from Germany to the US and Brazil in the 1930s.

In the 1930s, a loaf of bread cost 9 cents. This is about $1.28 in today's buying power, but keep in mind that an hour's work at the lowest wage jobs were making 35 cents, meaning that a quarter of an hour's wage was going to a single loaf of bread, and that there were plenty of other things one had to buy.

The average wage in the 1930's was $6.00-$7.00 an hour. The prices on items were tremendously lower, but most people could not find employment.

The U.S state of Oklahoma (along with several other states in the immediate vicinity) were known as part of "The Dust Bowl".

Life was very hard for the farmers during the 1930's. Most had been in a downward economic spiral since the end of the first world war. Government programs helped them to make it through the Depression. However, farmers in the Plains states suffered a devastating drought known as the Dust Bowl, which resulted in many of them abandoning their farms, and heading to California to work as itinerant farm workers.

In the 1930s, women often wore their hair in curls, created by finger waving and pin curling. For men, the most popular cut was short in the back and sides, and longer at the top.
