The employment rates for women increased by 20%, but women were arguing that they were getting paid less than men even though they were still working, as the men would go to war. They demanded equal pay, but were unsuccessful as they were seen as “less productive” as men. They eventually agreed on the low wages, but lost a lot of women workers.

Many men suffered from PTSD or “shell shock”, which made many of them depressed and unstable, which made many unfit to work.
