Question

American wars decreased employment and increased production. true or false

Answer 1

False, for as the United States troops mobilized to fight, the demands on industry were continual. The production of weapons, ammunition, warships, and similar military equipment kept factories busy and profits soaring in preparation for war. In addition, as soldiers vacated their positions to fight, their civilian jobs were left open. Not only did unemployment decrease, but also many workers were asked to work overtime to meet war's surging production demands.
