What did working class people do in the 1950s

History

Evgesh-ka [11]2 years ago

What we are witnessing is the human wreckage of a great historical turning point, a profound change in the social requirements of economic life. We have come to the end of the working class.

We still use “working class” to refer to a big chunk of the population—to a first approximation, people without a four-year college degree, since those are the people now most likely to be stuck with society’s lowest-paying, lowest-status jobs. But as an industrial concept in a post-industrial world, the term doesn’t really fit anymore. Historian Jefferson Cowie had it right when he gave his history Stayin’ Alive the subtitle The 1970s and the Last Days of the Working Class, implying that the coming of the post-industrial economy ushered in a transition to a post-working class. Or, to use sociologist Andrew Cherlin’s formulation, a “would-be working class—the individuals who would have taken the industrial jobs we used to have.”

What was the name of the canal built by the United States in the late 1800s that divided South America and created a waterway pa
HACTEHA [7]
I would say that the answer is the Panama Canal. Even though construction began in 1904, it is the only canal I can think of which fits the description given. 

The canal cuts across the isthmus of Panama and it connects the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans.
