A long sentence

hi, here's one sentence I could not fully understand /And at times of rising unemployment, the race to be more effective and productive than one’s peers conjures up images of those dance marathons of the 1930s where, in order to win, the couple had to be the last ones standing./

what does" to be more effective and productive than one's peers" mean? how does it connect to the dance marathons race?

thank you so much!!
