Which of the following was an economic consequence of World War II?
A. The Depression deepened.
B. Women were forced out of the workplace.
C. Unemployment hit new highs.
D. Demand for workers skyrocketed.

After World War II, the demand for workers skyrocketed as returning soldiers needed jobs and the economy shifted gears toward a peacetime footing. Factories that had produced war materials were now in high demand to create consumer goods, leading to bustling job opportunities across many sectors.

Women, who had played a crucial role in the workforce during the war, were largely encouraged to keep working, and many stayed in their positions. This shift helped lay the groundwork for future movements advocating for women’s rights and equality in the workplace, forever changing the societal landscape.
