31 Workforce for WWII Creating A Production Miracle! 1942: All Civilian Car and aircraft production stopped due to nation s military needs of World War Two During the next 3 years every automobile and aircraft company converted its factories to build war machines The introduction of mass production by Henry Ford and his former competitors increased the production of planes and tanks from 1 per day to 1 per hour

35 Workforce for WWII FDR s Arsenal for Defense The Nation expects our defense industries to continue operation without interruption by strikes or lock-outs. It expects and insists that management and workers will reconcile their differences by voluntary or legal means, to continue to produce the supplies that are so sorely needed. We must be the great arsenal of democracy. For us this is an emergency as serious as war itself.
36 Workforce for WWII Once again the labor shortage would provide great opportunities for both Women and Minorities to gain employment in the war s various industries
37 Workforce for WWII By 1940, Only 15.5% of all married women were working, so the Office of War Information launched a recruiting campaign
38 Workforce for WWII The number of working women rose to 35% of the civilian workforce with over 19.4 Million women by 1944
39 Workforce for WWII An American homemaker with strength and ability to run a house and raise a family..... has the strength and ability to take her place in a vital War Industry.
40 Workforce for WWII Rosie the Riveter All the day long, Whether rain or shine, She's a part of the assembly line. She's making history, Working for victory, Rosie the Riveter. "Do the Job He Left Behind" was a campaign slogan that emphasized women s patriotism for the war effort. Norman Rockwell portrayed Rosie as a monumental figure clad in overalls and a work-shirt with the sleeves rolled up to reveal her powerful, muscular arms
41 Workforce for WWII Many women were eager to prove their usefulness to the War Many found the work interesting, challenging, and profitable Although many employers were pleased to have female workers, most women earned far less than the male workers
42 Workforce for WWII Wartime production didn t only impact the nation s industries What was the focus of the Bracero Program? A program designed to address the wartime labor shortages in U.S. agricultural production It promoted the recruitment of skilled Mexican Nationals to work farms and ranches in America
43 Workforce for WWII Initially the Bracero Program provided for employment on farms and ranches in Texas Contracts ranged from a few weeks to 18 months Makeshift camps ranged in size from just a few braceros to a thousand Over time, braceros were sent to CA, OR, WA, & AR
44 Workforce for WWII Braceros were required to be processed through inspection stations along the border Braceros who were accepted were issued special ID cards The Bracero Program provided both economic opportunities for workers and unexpected hardships for Mexican families
45 Workforce for WWII However, for many, life as a bracero was better than life back home in Mexico The U.S. extended the program until 1964 More than 200,000 braceros came into the U.S. to help the war effort during WWII Many suffered terrible work conditions and low wages
46 "When the U.S. needed it most, we came to serve the United States. When the U.S. needed it most, I was here - José Ramírez Delgado, ex-bracero "Well, the term bracero... it is a word of distinction, for me it is a word of great pride. I would like that word to go down in history." - Juan Loza, ex-bracero "There was a lot of poverty in Mexico...I was money-poor, foodpoor, but rich in health. - Ignacio Gomez, ex-bracero "Over here your life changed because you earned more money, you could buy more things that you wanted, buy clothes, eat better. For me it was a positive experience. Maybe some would say not. - Audómaro G. Zepeda, ex-bracero "Well, on the one hand it was beneficial, and on the other hand, the family suffered just as much as you did. - Pedro del Real Pérez, ex-bracero "I thought we were going to see a different world. Well, sometimes it was even worse than my farm. - Santurnino González Díaz, ex-bracero "Yeah, in the fields they would sing.... Thirty, forty, or fifty.... No, life was hard, very hard, and beautiful." -Ismael Díaz de León, ex-bracero
