This excerpt from "Henry Ford-An Impact Felt" by Steven C. Stanford explains the impact of Henry Ford's $5 wage on the economy.

Which two statements explain ways the pay increase benefited Henry Ford and the Ford Motor Company. (Select TWO correct statements)

On January 12, 1914, the Ford Motor Company announced that it would pay eligible workers a minimum wage of $5 per day. For Ford workers it meant their wage was going to more than double. Ford also announced that it was going to reduce the work day from nine hours to eight, giving each employee one more hour outside the factory each day. The lower costs of production from the mass manufacturing of the Model T had created surplus income, estimated at over 10 million dollars. Ford felt this money should go back to his workers, in hopes they would be more willing to work under the harsh conditions of the assembly line. The payment of a living wage to workers created a new class of customers for Henry Ford. His factory workers could afford the products they built. Other industries either followed in Ford's footsteps or were brought along the same path by unionization. In time industrial workers around the country were raised above subsistence living.
