‘That male dockworker can no longer support a family by himself’
The average dock worker today earns $147,000 a year. In other words, enough to raise a family and have a wife almost anywhere n the country.
Stevedores do very well these days. They are all unionized as well.

I was thinking just the same. I guess the guy never met a dockworker in the Northeast.
And even with what they make, FDR had to bribe their leaders to support the WW2 war effort, as the dockworkers wanted a bigger ‘piece of the action’ before they’d load cargo.
