Question

Which of these was a result of America's participation in World War II?

Answer 1

The correct answer is A) both women and African Americans won new job opportunities after the war.  

A result of America’s participation in World War II was that both women and African Americans won new job opportunities after the war.  

In the United States, women entered the workforce like never before. Almost six million women became part of the workforce during the war. For many of them, it was the first time that they worked outside the home and in jobs usually held by men. There were also many opportunities for African Americans, especially in the North side of the United State. This caused a labor shortage in American agriculture. That is why the “Bracero Program” was created to allow Mexican farmers to enter the United States and work in agriculture. The program started in 1942 and ended in 1964.
