CLEP US History II

Category - WWII

One direct, but unintended, benefit of the G.I. Bill was:
  1. An increase of U.S. migration to urban centers.
  2. The creation of an American middle class.
  3. An increase in the number of Americans pursuing college degrees.
  4. The post-World War II Baby Boom.
  5. The creation of the United Nations.
Explanation
Answer: B - The creation of an American middle class was an unintentional benefit of the G.I. Bill. The legislation afforded World War II veterans resources to pursue college educations or job training, secure low-interest loans without a down payment to purchase homes, and paid them $20 per week for 52 weeks following their return, until they secured employment. While the G.I. Bill did increase the number of Americans pursuing college degrees, that was not an unintended consequence.
