question 5 points 2
what economic factors during world war ii contributed to the second great migration?

decrease in job opportunities

reduction in government contracts

mechanization of farming

decline in urban industries

Explanation:

During WWII, the mechanization of farming (e.g., use of tractors, combines) reduced the need for agricultural labor, pushing many (especially African Americans in the South) to migrate north/west for industrial jobs. The other options are incorrect: job opportunities increased (war production), government contracts increased (war spending), and urban industries boomed (war manufacturing), so they don't contribute to migration.

Answer:

Mechanization of farming
