History
1 answer:
velikii [3]2 years ago

Answer:

Explanation: The onset of the Great Depression affected urban unemployment in a number of ways. As the stock market collapsed, many companies lost access to easy credit and had to face serious consequences, ranging from bankruptcy (in which all employees would be unemployed) to massive layoffs. Urban businesses that stayed open often put out large signs stating they were not hiring in order to prevent inquiries.

Likewise, U.S. cities were flooded by rural farmworkers--especially those from the Dust Bowl--who were in search of work and had to compete with the city population. Sometimes, they accepted lower wages in order to obtain employment

What accounted for the shift from nomadic to sedentary societies in early Native American culture
babunello [35]

Answer:

What accounted for the shift was the same thing that accounted for the shift in other parts of the world: the development of agriculture.

Explanation:

When a society develops agriculture, it shifts from being nomadic to being sedentary. This is because of two main, intertwined reasons:

The first is that growing crops is a burdensome activity that demands a lot of time, and care: ploughing the land, planting the seeds, tending the crops, caring for them, and picking them in time of harvest. This makes growing crops clash with a nomadic lifestyle.

The second reason is that agriculture is a more efficient way to produce food than hunting or gathering. Agriculture does produce a steady supply of food when the crops do not fail, while gathering and hunting hardly produces what is necessary for survival. This is an incentive for early societies to develop agriculture.
