In 1933 the unemployment rate was about 25. This percentage
 
  (a) is probably quite accurate because the data on unemployment collected by the federal government was quite good at the time.
  (b) is probably too high because some people with jobs claimed to be unemployed so
  that they could collect unemployment compensation payments.
  (c) is probably too low because there were discouraged and underemployed workers.
  (d) is probably meaningless because the data on unemployment was either very poor
  or nonexistent.

The years after 1960 witnessed some social and economic changes of extraordinary magnitude, including all of the following except
 
  (a) The core of U.S. growth shifted away from its historic base in heavy industry.
  (b) A huge influx of women into the labor force occurred.
  (c) Legislation provided for greater safety on the job and cleaner air and water.
  (d) The Cold War ended in the early 1970s, following the end of the Vietnam War, and defense spending declined significantly from the Cold War years of the 1950s.
