Why were married women pressured to leave their jobs during the 1930s? to encourage a return to traditional values by getting women back to their traditional duties to discourage men from abandoning their families by ensuring they had a wife to come home to to free up jobs for men who had been laid off so that they could support their families to free up women so that they could contribute to charitable causes during the Depression

In the 1930s the United States had to face one of the most difficult problems. During the Great Depression, there were millions of American people who lost their jobs across the country. It was extremely hard to find a job and most of the unemployed people travelled from place to place in order to find some work. That was the reason why women were preassured to leave their jobs, so that men could apply for those positions.
