On top of that, a lot of women worked in the 40s - 60s because that's how everyone could afford to keep up with the Jones'.

Just to quantify this, because I think it's interesting - the labor participation rate in the US for women in the 1950s was generally in the 30s. Today, it's roughly around 55-60%.

So in other words, it's approximately around 25% of American women who would not have worked in the 1950s but who do work today.

You could buy a decent house on a single low middle class wage in the fifties. If you were white, at least.
