In the 1950s, a significant number of women entered the workforce, often taking jobs in industries such as retail, education, and healthcare, while many men were employed in manufacturing and construction due to post-war economic expansion. The era also saw a rise in dual-income households as more families sought financial stability. However, societal norms often confined women to lower-paying jobs, and traditional gender roles remained prevalent. Overall, the workforce began to diversify, paving the way for future changes in employment dynamics.
