Answer:

Explanation:

Effects on economy

The Prudhoe Bay oil discovery in the 1960s changed Alaska’s economy significantly. The state’s oil production dominates the economy. In 1961, summer jobs in fishing and construction made up the majority of Alaska’s private jobs, with 66% higher employment in the summers. Jobs are now year-round, resulting in a more stable state economy. From 1961 to 2003, Alaska’s employment grew from 94,000 to 320,000. A third of Alaska’s jobs—127,000 in 2007—were oil-related and depended on oil production. The state’s population is triple what it was in 1960, up from 226,000 to 710,000 in 2010, according to a 2011 report by the University of Alaska’s Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER).

Why did Stalin blockade Berlin?
Vitek1552 [10]
I think it would be D. because Stalin didn't like the non-communist countries allowing that side to prosper, which is why the U.S. ended up with the food drops. I'm unsure though because I'm not sure if the Allies unified their zones in Berlin, but it seems incredibly likely.

Explain each mans viewpoint on the effect of child labor in factories
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer: Children of poor and working-class families had worked for centuries before industrialization – helping around the house or assisting in the family’s enterprise when they were able. The practice of putting children to work was first documented in the Medieval era when fathers had their children spin thread for them to weave on the loom. Children performed a variety of tasks that were auxiliary to their parents but critical to the family economy. The family’s household needs determined the family’s supply of labor and “the interdependence of work and residence, of household labor needs, subsidence requirements, and family relationships constituted the ‘family economy'”
