question 11
analyze the economic impact of the great migration during world war i. how did the migration contribute to the growth of the northern industrial labor force?
options:

• by replacing the workforce in the south
• by causing an economic boom
• by filling the significant shortage of industrial labor
• by creating job opportunities in urban areas

Explanation:

The Great Migration during WWI involved African Americans moving from the South to industrial Northern cities to fill labor shortages created by the war (factories needed workers for war production). Among the options, "By filling the significant shortage of industrial labor" directly relates to this context, as the migration supplied workers to industries that lacked labor due to the war effort (many white workers were drafted, and factories expanded for wartime production). Other options: "reducing workforce in the South" is a result, not the main contribution to the labor force growth; "causing an economic boom" is broader, and "increasing job competition in urban areas" is more about challenges, not the primary impact on the labor force.

Answer:

By filling the significant shortage of industrial labor
