An interesting feature of the information in Recent Social Trends was the extent to which it anticipated the trends that would be very important in the future.
By 1933, social scientists were already alarmed by the rising divorce rate, which would rise much further in the following decades. They were also intrigued by the increasing proportion of married women in the paid labor force, which had doubled from 1900 to 1930. This trend would also continue until the end of the twentieth century.
