The correct statement that identifies the cause-and-effect relationship is:

The cause is electricians being unionized, and the effect is Giuseppe D'Amico having a hard time finding a job.

This is because the unionization of electricians in Manhattan created a barrier for Giuseppe D'Amico, who was unable to find work in his trade as a result.
