Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "A": During the Great Recession, unemployment rates for men rose above those of women.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Great Depression is the worst economic recession known in the modern world. It was caused by the crash of the U.S. stock market in 1929 and did not end until the beginning of World War II. Unemployment in the U.S. was about 25% implying over 15 million Americans did not have a job. The men's unemployment rate was higher than women since most industries with "women's work" -such as domestic service or sewing- were not directly affected by the depression.
