Question

Which of the following is correct?

Answer 1

Answer:

C. During the Great Recession, unemployment rates for men rose above those of women.

Explanation:

• The Great Depression is the worst recession known in the modern world. It was caused by the collapse of the American stock market in 1929 and did not end until the outbreak of World War II. Unemployment is 25% in the US and over 15 million Americans have no jobs.
• Many of the industries that have "women's work" have a higher rate of male unemployment than women, as domestic services or tailoring are not directly affected by the recession.
