Answer 1

B- the increased employment and opportunities

Answer 2

The correct answer is B) they enjoyed increased employment opportunities and earned higher wages.

African Americans from Georgia benefited from World War II because they enjoyed increased employment opportunities and earned higher wages.

Black workers in the state of Georgia benefited from World War II although segregation was still a problem. This allowed the workers to continue their civil rights demands. Many workers labored in the military industry, earning better wages than other industries because federal guidelines mandated that workers in the military industry would gain better wages than other industries. That was another benefit for them.
