The Changing Composition of the United States Work Force.
Abstract
The United States attained full economic maturity at the beginning of the century. It entered the stage of "high mass consumption" as described by W. W. Rostow in his book "The Process of Economic Growth. Our economy has matured through mechanization, innovation, and automation. Vast technological developments have affected both industry and the home. This year it is estimated that the monetary value of all goods and services produced will be $578 billion, over five times greater than the boom year of 1929. The work force, our human resources responsible for this unprecedented growth, is that portion of our population which receives payment for producing goods and rendering services.
