Hey guys. I have an issues (yes i know.. I have a lot of issues... but this is more specific)

I have a project for US history... but I can't find any primary sources for it. I need at least 3 primary sources for the economy after World war 2 (in the US)

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

I don't have any readily available but I would suggest looking on wikipedia. As a source itself it is garbage but can be quite helpful when you check out the citations for the wikipedia articles and use them to find what you need.

Aside from that and google I can't think of any resources off the top of my head. Good luck on the project!

It might be worth seeing if the US Senate do the same thing, and if they have published any from the past.

Does anyone know the origins of the terms "white collar" and "Blue collar" when describing ones type of work (white collar being things like CEO's and blue collar being things like factory workers). I have been trying to find it for a wile but can't seem to.

Office workers wear nice white shirts. Collars are the same colours as the shirts.

And are usually only part seen when wearing a suit, hence white collar.

I'm not sure where you would find primary sources. I'd start with Google. Google will tell you anything. After that look in the library. A collage library would be preferred, though as a non-collage student you may not be able to check out any book there.

For those of you who don't know a primary source is a first hand account of an event, like a journal or ledger.

And it doesn't address the period of history he's asking about.
