Answer 1

The major cause of the growing middle class of government workers throughout the 1960s was the increased efforts to win the space race. The space race led to significant government investment in research, technology, and infrastructure, resulting in the expansion of government employment in various sectors, particularly in science and engineering, thus contributing to the growth of the middle class among government workers.
