Skilled workers in the 1920s received high wages and some enjoyed paid vacations, sick leave, and other benefits. This was due to a strong demand for their specific skills and the relatively small supply of skilled workers during that time. However, this was not the case for all workers, as many industrial workers lived below the poverty level. The statement about farmers making more money than industrial workers is not necessarily true, as it would depend on the specific industry and location. The statement about men and women being paid comparable wages and most workers belonging to unions is also not accurate for the 1920s.
