Question: How were black families treated in the 1930s!? !?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

It was often difficult for black people to get work other than in very poorly paid jobs!. Women found it difficult to get jobs other than in domestic service, though there was an enormous demand for them as servants!. African Americans were about a fourth of the domestics in 1900, and half by 1930!.

Black wives were five more likely to work than any other ethnic group, and they had fewer children than immigrants!. Unlike immigrants, black parents allowed their working children to keep the money they made, and they wer less likely to expect their sons and daughters to support them in old age!.

AFrican American women of middle age or younger in the north had approxiametely the same literacy rate as white women their age and were just as likely to send their children to school!. but the payoff was much lower for black students!. Even those with high school degrees were shut out of clerical and sales jobs in white neighbourhoods!. Employers refused to hire black women, even though they were better educated and worked for less than the pool of available whites!.

Although there continued to be an elite group of black families who had made their fortunes in an earlier, less structured economy, the opportunites of breaking into the middle class for ambitious newcomers was minimal!.
