Employers commonly paid women one-half to two-thirds of what a man doing the same job received. The wages were pitiful. In 1850, a woman garment worker in a Cleveland factory earned 104 dollars per year. A woman working in a shoe factory in Cincinnati did slightly better at three dollars per week, but her employer routinely deducted the cost of supplies from her wages.]]> 2020-01-10 14:49:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ezequielmarquez/psxchbczwwox/wish/430002593 ezequielmarquez https://padlet.com/ezequielmarquez/psxchbczwwox/wish/430002829 Japanese occupations in the Far East had made it impossible to get rubber from plantations in the Dutch East Indies, and what little rubber was available went straight to airplane and munitions factories. Because no one had yet figured out how to make really high-quality artificial rubber, the OPA especially wanted to encourage people to care for the automobile tires they already had. Ads urged people to put less wear on their tires by driving in carpools. ]]> 2020-01-10 14:49:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ezequielmarquez/psxchbczwwox/wish/430002829 ezequielmarquez https://padlet.com/ezequielmarquez/psxchbczwwox/wish/430002939 The government issued a number of “points” to each person, even babies, which had to be turned in along with money to purchase goods made with restricted items.
