Question

which of the following is true regarding the impact technology had on the growing middle class in america? requirements for expert operators with technology created higher-paying jobs. technology replaced the need for training, uplifting unskilled workers. automation required less skill, undermining the middle class.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: As technology advanced, jobs requiring expert operators (e.g., in manufacturing, tech sectors) emerged. These jobs often had higher pay, contributing to the growth of the middle class by providing stable, well - paying employment.
• Option 2: Technology generally requires training (e.g., learning to operate new machinery or software), so it does not replace the need for training. Unskilled workers without training would not be uplifted by technology in this way.
• Option 3: Automation that requires less skill would likely lead to more low - wage jobs, which would not support the growth of the middle class. In fact, the growth of the middle class was often associated with jobs that required skills (and thus better pay) due to technological advancements.

Answer:

A. Requirements for expert operators with technology created higher - paying jobs.
