According to the US Census Bureau, the average income of people in the 1940s was $1,725 per year. That breaks down to $145 per month and $33 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.

Going back 60 years from 2014 brings us into the year 1954. Many things happened in this year, which includes the Brown versus Board of Education hearing and Ellis Island closing as a point of immigration.

There was a variety of different clothing that people wore in 1945. For women, rayon dresses, and small hats were very popular. For men, knickerbockers, tailored suits and plus-fours were popular.

The average price of a new home in 1940 was 3,920.00 dollars. By 1949, the average price of a new home went up to 7,450.00 dollars.

The US used the same money as it does now.

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.

Racism was horrific in the 1920s. By 1925 there were 1/2 a million members in the ku klux klan (a racist organisation) and lynchings were commonplace. Non-whites were not respected and segregation was still taking place. Asians were banned from entering the USA entirely.

Sure, I have pictures of my dad in his WWII uniform and all of my aunts and mom wearing slacks.

George H. W. Bush started the Persian Gulf War. He thought this was necessary because he thought the invasion of the oil rich countries was a threat to the international economy.
