Which of the following is one impact to the workforce caused by World War II?

A. More businesses laid off workers
B. More men quit their jobs

Asked by Mel9579

Answer (2)

World War II significantly impacted the workforce, primarily by increasing the participation of women, while fewer layoffs occurred due to increased demand for wartime production. Many men left their jobs to serve, which required women to step in. Thus, the statement about businesses laying off workers is not accurate for this era. ;

During World War II, many men left their jobs to serve in the military, creating job openings that women filled. This shift significantly changed the workforce dynamics as women took on roles traditionally held by men. Therefore, the correct statement is that more men quit their jobs to serve in the military.
