Detailed explanation-1: -Jobs were mainly industrial or agricultural, with many men working in blue-collar jobs as mechanics, plumbers, bus drivers, warehouse workers and road construction workers. Some worked in office jobs as executives and middle management.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 1950, the overall participation rate of women was 34 per-cent. (See table 4.) The rate rose to 38 percent in 1960, 43 percent in 1970, 52 percent in 1980, and 58 percent in 1990 and reached 60 percent by 2000.
Detailed explanation-3: -Workers in the 1950s worked longer hours in tougher conditions and with less holiday-so why were they happier than we are now? It was an era when women stayed at home, a 9-to-5 job meant just that, workers had a job for life and nobody had a Blackberry to ruin their holidays.
