The Advertising Council forecasts up to 1960 that the American system will yield high living standards, expanded employment around 65 million workers, rising real income over 40 percent since 1940, two weeks vacation per worker, greater old age and unemployment security, and 15 million new homes. It cites past progress: hours shortened from 70 to 40 weekly, rising share of national income in wages, more jobs per population, and national income growing from seven billion in 1850 to 215 billion in 1944 in today’s purchasing power.
