Mobilizing the Workforce During world war one resources were scarce even for non participatory countries. To counter this women african americans and mexicans were put to work to maximize resources and make up for the men going to europe to fight. many agencies were created to expedite this process among them the national war labor board. The chairman of the nwlb was william howard taft and frank walsh. during this time women, african americans, and mexicans proved they could work and do well though most became unemployed just after the end of the war.
