Describe the short- and long-term effects of the war on Oklahoma’s economy.
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Oklahomans contributed to the war effort in many ways, but especially by engaging in wartime production. Many people moved to urban areas to fill the needs of employers in order to meet the supply and arms requirements of the armed forces. As men joined the military, women took their places on the factory floor. This resulted in several short- and long-term effects. First, it ended the Great Depression by shrinking unemployment and raising salaries. Secondly, it resulted in the diversification of Oklahoma’s economy—no longer was it exclusively tied to the agricultural and oil sectors. Finally, it resulted in a massive migration from rural areas to urban ones, and jobs were more plentiful in big cities like Tulsa and Oklahoma City.
