There has ALWAYS been a very great divide in salaries and the '30s were no exception.

You're getting confused, here. The 30s were a norm, in this regard. That's what I'M saying.

The 30s were a norm? I don't think so.

The '30s were NOT the "norm",in any sense of that word at all!

I'm not the one "confused";I know what I'm talking about...unlike you. What you're saying is utter drivel,based on nothing and factless. You haven't a clue!

Prices and salaries go up and down. The 1930s were a down time. People took great cuts in pay,just to keep their jobs. Some were laid off/fired, because they could be replaced by another person doing more work,or cheaper labor. That has ALWAYS been so in this country during PANICS,RESESSIONS, And DEPRESSIONS.
