A Booming Economy: (2 pts ea)

  1. Describe life in America after WWI:

After WWI – US economy = AWESOME

Key to this = mass production (workers produce more goods in less time)

Wages increased = more people can afford goods

Stock Market prices rise

This all creates the modern consumer economy = changes America

  1. Automobile Industry:

    1. How did the automobile contribute to the growing American economy?

Ford: his ideas changed production, wages, working conditions, and daily life for Americans:

  • Ford – mass production to larger products

  • This makes larger products more affordable

  • Model T – avg American can afford

  • Scientific management to study mass production – brought assembly line to car industry (12 hrs to 90 mins) = produce more ; also reduced price ($350-$290)

  • Ford doubled wages )changed working conditions in the hopes that his workers would become his customers

  • Cars increase growth of related industries (oil; gas stations)

  • Cars = need for highway system

  • Cars = increase advertising industry

  • Cars – increase vacation industry



    1. How did the Automobile change America ? (Ex. Freedom)

Avg American can afford a car = avg American can travel = bring the city and the country population together

1927- 56% owned car

Ford changed working conditions (wages doubled, reduced working day to 8 hrs, weekends off!;

Cars = increase vacation – now everyone can go on vacation!

BUT – mass transportation declines

  1. A Bustling Economy:

    1. What was responsible for the new American Consumer Culture?

Consumer Revolution: affordable goods to the public

Ads, “you NEED this”

Installment buying – anyone can afford it!

    1. What was the new “get rich quick scheme”?/What were the problems (risks)?

Bull Market: Rising stock prices

Buying on credit (10% down – then the rest over months)

  1. Cities, Suburbs, and Country:

    1. How did the American urban and suburban areas change during the 1920s?

Urban & Suburban = great growth:

  • Everyone heads to the cities (jobs)

  • Suburbs increase because travel into cities is accessible (mass transportation/cars affordable)

Rural = not such a great place to live:
