The following quote was made by the New York Labor Federation following World War I:
"The same patriotism which induced women to enter industry during the war should induce them to vacate their positions."
Why were women encouraged to give up their positions in the workforce?
1) to account for the decreased need and demand for consumer goods after the war
2) to allow for more efficient workers to step into their roles and build the economy
3) to provide work opportunities to the male soldiers returning from war
4) to return to the domestic realm and care for the wounded soldiers
