Answer 2

B. returning Veterans had to be given their jobs back.

Answer 3

The answer is B:priority was given to returning veterans.

Answer 4

Priority was given to returning veterans. It's also useful to note that women had entered the workforce through sheer necessity, to replace the vast numbers of men who'd gone to war. Accepted wisdom at that time considered that a woman's place was in the home  

Answer 5

B.  During the war women went into the workfroce for the first time to fill in for all the men who were fighting overseas.  As the veterans returned from war, women were forced out of the workforce so the men would have a job to return to.

Answer 6

Answer 7

B.  However, it is important to remember that many women during the war had taken jobs in defense, and the defense industry was closing down, so many jobs were going anyway.

Most women who had to work for a living had been working anyway before the war, and they went back to doing their old jobs.  Single women had to work for a living before, during, and after the war, and so did some married women.  The war made a difference to the kind of jobs they had to do, but not to the fact of their working.

it is a bit of a myth that large numbers of housewives went out to work during the war.  Some wives did take jobs, but in fact 90% of housewives who were at home at the time of Pearl Harbour did not go out to work.  For one thing, there was a lack of childcare facilities (the government did very little to provide them) and for another thing, 'juggling' was not seen as a particularly desirable option at that time.

Answer 8

B, when the men returned from war, the women voluntarily returned to the role of  housewife and (as the baby boom numbers suggest) mothers.
