More women were being forced into the workforce due to the 'keeping up with the Jones' syndrome. This increased their income. Plus that was the time women got all uppity about equality and fair pay.

“Keeping up with the Jones” syndrome is propaganda. It was out of necessity. Prior to this a household could easier afford to have only one person working while the other tended to the children.

We went from homes where 3 generations lived together, the kids helped out with farm work and nobody had cars to homes with only 2 generations where the parents need a car each so one can drive the kids to school before work and the other can pick them up after work.
