In spite of a major depression and a world war that cost over 60 million lives, the period of 1940 to 1960 represents the greatest growth in living standards for average workers in human history. |
|

Manufacturing dropped from its high in 1890 of around 20% of jobs to around 11% thanks to automation. In turn, the services industry exploded in white collar job opportunities as well as increased employment in transport orientated work thanks to motor vehicles. |
