This is a result of the glut of workers caused by the Boomers entering the workforce.

To make ends meet, the women Boomers went to work too which compounded the problem.

The times, they are a changing.

This makes sense, and as far as explanations go it's better than most running around on the internet.

Yet, it was a very abrupt change. Did the US population have that abrupt change to reflect there? On society it's common that a very steep change leads to spread-down consequences; the reverse almost never happens.

Right, we have double the work force now thanks to women's rights. I'm not saying we shouldn't have women's rights. Every human should have the same rights. I'm just saying that definitely played a factor in wages.

Yeah it should’ve been twice the workers for half the time

America spent the majority of WW2 selling their entire manufacturing output to every developed country in the world.

Then they continued on from ww2 being the only country to make a profit and still have the factories working.

They made a fortune from WW2 and after, it could be argued its the best thing that ever happened to that country.

It took a while for other countries to catch up.
