The ladies garment industry in Los Angeles was one of the most rapidly growing industries. By 1933 the garment industry was worth $3 million (~$57.6 million in 2024).[citation needed][1]:149 When the Great Crash of 1929-1933 struck the country, the garment industry in Los Angeles was least affected. During the period of the Great Crash, the garment industry had a high demand for female occupations as opposed to male occupations. As a result, minority women were forced to seek jobs in order to sustain their families. Mexican immigrant women became the primary source for cheap labor in the garment industry. By classifying them as unskilled labor, employers were able to pay them less, allowing for Mexican women to take up 75% of the clothing and needle trades in Los Angeles.[1]:148
