C. Wage freezes reduced consumer spending ... ..<span> that did NOT happen</span>. In April, 1943, President Roosevelt put a freeze on wages and prices ... and consumer spending increased.

As to answer A):The gross national product (GNP) and corporate profits did double during wartime. There is something to be aware of with that, however. The big increases in spending were all war-related, and much work would be needed after the war to keep the economy going forward on a peacetime footing.

This economy, a child of the Great Depression, bore little resemblance to its muscular cousin who fought on two war fronts."

Agricultural Experiment Station annual report, 1942).

During the migration, there were many new jobs available for African Americans, but most are very dangerous and could result in fatal outcomes. Female African Americans had a more difficult time finding work, having competitions against others just for mere labor work. As a result of the migration, blacks ended up creating their own suburbs and cities, a lot being in New York. The outcome was ultimately good, as the African Americans had increasing political activism along with more jobs.
