This is an interesting question. The census bureau's website would probably be the best place to start. I do not know if they have all of their stats posted from decades past.

The government’s average employment share increased from 5.2 percent in 1937 to 12.3 percent in 1960 to 18.4 percent in 1994. The rate of increase of this ratio has declined during the past couple decades in most countries, but one ought not to make too much of that deceleration.  The difference shows that we have grow to have more money and just overall more economically smart. \n\nhahaha i found the anwser =]

Your question makes no sense to me. I remember years ago when living wages were not so high and you were actually given a wage to live within your means doing jobs like janitor work, landscaper, roofer, cooks, etc. Believe it or not, these all were considered good jobs in the 50's, 60's, 70's and even 80's. All the jobs that your people have taken over now claiming that these are jobs us snobbish, lazy, Americans no longer want. \n\nWhat has happened is that illegals starting coming in got paid under the table, and brought the wages down for these jobs and now it is out of control. These days you rarely see a non-hispanic, or US Citizen doing these jobs. \n\nWhat you are preaching is a lie told to you by your filthy presidente Vicente Fox and our moronous Bush. The smart American, patriotic working class people don't buy this bullsh*t for a second and don't think your pulling the wool over our eyes. Your nothing special, we don't owe you anything. You work 3 or 4 jobs like an animal not a human being and have hurt our proud hardworking American culture and everything we fought for. Go crawl back into your el holo.

Real median earnings of men age 15 and older who worked full-time, year-round in 2003 ($40,668) remained unchanged from 2002. Women with similar work experience saw their earnings decline — 0.6 percent to $30,724 — their first annual decline since 1995. As a result, the ratio of female-to-male earnings for full-time, year-round workers was 76 cents for every dollar in 2003, down from 77 cents for every dollar in 2002

My experience is different from the previous description.  My first year of teaching was in 1969, when my total annual income was less than $10,000.  Depends on location, of course, but 1960 salary would be less than that.

This report is pretty thorough about occupations by industry in the UK, and is also broken down by sex which is an important divider.\n\nhttp://www.statistics.gov.uk/downloads/theme_labour/emp_by_occ_ind.pdf\n\nCheck out Page 2.\n\nYou will see the Service industries are the most popular, such as Teaching, Public Administration, catering, hotels, with Manufacturing at about 15%.

statistics describes real life with numbers. \nit is one thing to say: "there is discrimination", and another "females earn 20% less than males on average, but the gap had shrunk from 1960-s when it was 35%"

Any kind of construction jobs were good, but the period right after WWII and into the  1950's was also the first time that many young people could afford a college education due to the GI Bill.  Lots of professional and white collar jobs were born during this period. Engineers, Architects, Doctors, Lawyers, etc.

I dunno, but my first computer job was back in 1966 .... there were FIVE computers in this city of 100,000 people then - and each new one in town would be almost front page news.\n\nThat computer had 96K RAM .... our company used it for a few years, then needed to expand, so we upgraded (probably for $20,000+!) to a "massive" 192K\n\n(Yes, that is "K", not MB, GB, etc etc!)

The 60's were definitely an era of change in more than one area. It was a revolution of sorts. Not all the boomers were into free love, sex, and drugs. Throw in the Vietnam War and there was a lot of controversy about the times, the generation, the beliefs at the time.....it was as each significant era distinctly its' own. I lived it, didn't agree with all of it, look back try to make sense of it all, and realize your kids just like you are gonna do what they are gonna do, and all the song and dance doesn't stop it merely changes. You usually don't learn from someone elses mistakes unfortunately. So ironic and humorous not really simply par for the course......of life.
