What does Carnegie mean when he writes that “The ‘good old times’ were not good old times” (Foner 33)?

History

Marta_Voda [28]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

It means that the old times weren't as good as the phrase 'the good old times' made it seem.

explanation:

What Andrew Carnegie meant by this is that although we may use the phrase

“The ‘good old times’, those times were not really good times. This is because things were not clearly as good as it is today compared to those times. Going back to those times or old conditions would be disastrous as the good old times were not quite as civilized as we have it today.

From the speech from which he said these words, he said neither master nor servant were as well situated as they are today. This means that life wasn't very easy or comfortable in the old times compared to today.

What does the unemployment rate tell about a country’s economy? **This is for economics**
Tju [1.3M]

As the state of the economy and the issues surrounding gaps in income inequality continue to absorb the national spotlight, some may wonder what exactly any of the numbers that are thrown around in the media actually say about, well, anything. What does it mean when the unemployment rate drops? Does that mean people are finding jobs and the economy is improving? What do any of the numbers surrounding unemployment really say about the state of the economy?

Recently you may have heard that the unemployment rate has dropped. While that is true, it does not necessarily indicate a positive occurrence.  According the jobs report of December, 74,000 jobs have been added to the economy, and the jobless rate is down to 6.7%. Adding jobs and seeing a decrease in the jobless rate, both sound like really good things on the surface. Upon further examination of what exactly these numbers mean, the poor state of employment across the country begins to reveal itself.
