Post War America

The “GI Bill” (Servicemen’s Readjustment Act) Created in 1944 to help ease soldiers back into every day life Job priority given to veterans 52 weeks of unemployment benefits Veterans were given $65 a month ($90 for a family) Zero down-payment low-interest loans to buy homes or businesses The GI Bill had a BIG impact… By 1947 nearly half of all college students were veterans Four million veterans bought homes with low interest government loans

Welcome to Suburbia A survey taken in the 1950's found that Levittown residents were most concerned with 2 problems: unleashed dogs and world Communism-- in that order. This creates a record demand for new goods and services which fuels the economy.

Baby BOOM! By 1957 an American baby was born every 7 seconds! Why? More men in society due to end of WWII GI bill enabled men to start a family Prosperous economy encouraged parents to have babies sooner People married at a younger age (1 in 3 women married by age 19) Improvements in medical science
