Jenny on the Job


The star of this series is the blond-haired, blue-eyed Jenny, serving as the model production worker. She sets an example to other women, probably new to industrial jobs, of how to work safely and efficiently, doing her best to help the war effort.

The government encouraged entry of women into the workforce, replacing the men now fighting overseas.  “Jenny on the Job” showcased eight posters issued in 1943 by the United States Public Health Services. The artist was Kula Robbins.

I can't find any information on the artist, but I really love these posters!












which poster is your favorite?  leave it in the comments!
