The pin he shows at the end appears to be a Navy E-type production award, given to civilian personnel who worked to produce raw materials used in the war effort.

Nice catch Itgalloway. You're right about the pin. Here's an example of one for sale on ebay

That was actually pretty good. Sure, there were a couple of things a little dated, but they were on the mark. It was if the US Gov really worked and cared then! *shocked*

Re: WW2 PSA: Supervising Women Workers

A little dated? The whole reason why this clip is so funny is the old-fashioned, blatant generalizations about women being overly sensitive, unknowledgeable, inept, jealous, and finicky. Yeah they make an effort at the end to make them seem valuable, but I like to think we've evolved a bit in our views on women and minorities in general.
