Question

what is one example of the way a rise in productivity during the 1950s improved the standard of living in the united states? it gave workers more time off, it led to a sharp increase in urbanization, it led to the end of discrimination in the united states, it eliminated poverty

Answer 1

"It gave workers more time off."

Explanation: Productivity gains in the 1950s raised output per worker, which helped fund higher wages and more leisure (shorter workweeks, paid vacations), increasing living standards. The other choices are not accurate consequences: discrimination and poverty were not ended, and growth tended toward suburbanization rather than a sharp increase in urbanization.
