Question 2

In the 1970s and 1980s, job opportunities for African Americans both improved and worsened. What explains this dichotomy?
 
  a. The migration of industrial jobs to the suburbs led to a decline of jobs in inner cities where African Americans were concentrated; at the same time, more blacks opened their own businesses.
  b. The migration of industrial jobs out of the state led to a decline of blue-collar employment in inner cities where poor African Americans were concentrated; at the same time, more blacks opened their own businesses than in any other part of the country.
  c. Affirmative-action programs led to more hiring of African Americans in service-sector jobs. This was an improvement in that there were new jobs created in urban areas; however, it led to a decline in wages and benefits compared to industrial jobs.
  d. African Americans began to move to the suburbs where they found better-paying jobs, but many experienced discrimination and were not hired for these jobs.
