60 Million Jobs
Code  13982 Size  7/8 in. Grade  Choice/XF Price  $50.00
Tab issued in support of the Truman administration and its goal of full employment of the workforce, c. 1948. Bastian Bros. Co., for United Auto Workers.

60 million was a magic number in the years immediately following World War II, when it was feared that the scaling back of war-related manufacturing would lead to the high levels of unemployment of the pre-war Depression years. A central theme of Truman's presidential campaign was that he had kept America working, employing 58,000,000 of an estimated 60,000,000 workers (an unemployment rate of less than 5%). While these figures were disputed by his opponents, "60 million jobs" became a catchphrase of Truman's campaign.

A rare union-issued tab.
