Answer: 5.3 million Americans

Explanation: In the summer of 1940, about 5.3 million Americans were still unemployed — far fewer than the 11.5 million who had been unemployed in 1932 (about thirty percent of the American workforce) but still a significant pool of unused labor and, often, suffering citizens.

Answer: 5.3 million of Americans

Explanation:

The following is an outline of unemployment in the Presidencies since the Depression. Data for 1929 through 1946 include workers 14 and 15 years old. Since 1947 only those 16 and older are included.

HERBERT HOOVER - Unemployment was at an annual average of 3.2 percent when Hoover took office in 1929. Then the stock market crashed and many businesses failed. The jobless rate increased to 8.7 percent in 1930 and then to the high of 24.9 percent in 1933, when Hoover left office after being defeated for re-election.

FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT - In his first 100 days in office, Roosevelt moved to reform banks, establish parity for agriculture production, allow collective bargaining by unions and create the Public Works Administration, which gave jobs to thousands. The unemployment rate dropped but lingered in the teens until World War II, plunging to 1.2 percent in 1944. It was 1.9 percent when Roosevelt died in 1945.

HARRY S. TRUMAN - With the end of World War II, American servicemen returned home. Some could not find work, causing the jobless rate to double within a year and to rise to 7.9 percent in October 1949, before it dropped as a result of the Korean War. When Truman left office in 1953, unemployment was down to 2.9 percent.

What was the purpose of earldoms
bulgar [2K]

Hello Martincoretox9aum, an earl is a member of the nobility. The title is Anglo-Saxon in origin, akin to the Scandinavian form jarl, and meant "chieftain", particularly a chieftain set to rule a territory in a king's stead. In Scandinavia, it became obsolete in the Middle Ages and was replaced by duke (hertig/hertug/hertog). In later medieval Britain, it became the equivalent of the continental count (in England in the earlier period, it was more akin to a duke; in Scotland it assimilated the concept of mormaer). However, earlier in Scandinavia, jarl could also mean a sovereign prince.<span>[citation needed]</span> For example, the rulers of several of the petty kingdoms of Norway had the title of jarl and in many cases they had no less power than their neighbours who had the title of king. Alternative names for the rank equivalent to "Earl/Count" in the nobility structure are used in other countries, such as the hakushaku of the post-restoration Japanese Imperial era.In modern Britain, an earl is a member of the peerage, ranking below a marquess and above a viscount. A feminine form of earl never developed; instead, countess is used.

zysi [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

What continued was the shared religon between China and India, well India mostly, of Bhuddism. Bhuddism stayed and is still a common religious practice to this day. Another thing that continued is the Egyption and chinese farming technique for fertile farmland. They both developed, egypt and ancient china near rivers and they took advantage of that. We see that today in china, where they use the yangtze river, yellow river etc. Also mesopotamia, china, and egypt both developed a language, in which china and egypt used pictograms and mesopotamia developed the first written language; cunieform. Languages are a big part of society today. What changed was the overall shape and meaning of a civilization and society, mesopotamia, because they developed the division of labor in which people had to work. It's also to note that mesopotamia invented and created many great finding and inventions, ex the wheel and how to do metal work.
