which were done by woman during the War. Women were used as nurses in the
ambulance corporation in The Red Cross and this help caused employment to increase
by 1.3 million. This allowed the USA economy and production stay strong during the
war, and led to them getting a political voice as the 19th Amendment was then passed in
1920.
Another feature of social change in America was the increased jobs taken by African
Americans, which then caused an increase in race riots. Over 500,000 African Americans
moved from the South to urban North between 1916 and 1919 for better economic
opportunities. This was also to escape the Jim Crow Laws which were incredibly fierce in
the south were 75% of African Americans lived.

• One feature that boosted the American economy was agriculture. Income of farmers
increased by 30% as food was needed in struggling European countries. The US supplied
55% of the world cotton and 30% of the world wheat. This boosted the economy because
the US could use resources in excess to make extra money to help the economy thrive.
Another feature that boosted the American economy was the rise of employment.
Employment increased by 1.3 million as women and black Americans joined the workforce.
Wages for unskilled workers rose by 20% as factory production also increased by 35%. This

which they could later spend.

would improve their quality of life.
