In the decades following WWII, the economies of the western world boomed which led to the start of a consumer led economy. Building and construction expanded as people began to expect to own homes and manufacturing boomed as people expected to have the things that defined the good life. The majority of the suburbs that we know today were built in the last half of the twentieth century, that boom began in the fifties. As people filled the suburbs, these households needed cars to get to work and strip malls and shopping centers were built to support the good life. People wanted the new things of the good life, such as TVs, dishwashers, washing machines and dryers, and all things electrically operated. Jobs moved from agriculture as farms became more mechanized and need fewer and fewer people to operate them; more people were needed to build the buildings, to make, transport, and sell the goods, and to finance those activities.
