Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that there is a shift towards labor that requires higher technological skills which has led to income disparity within the Black Hispanic population, as they are less likely to have higher education and access to the technology needed for these jobs. Therefore, Option A is the best choice. Option B is unlikely since the real minimum wage has not significantly increased in recent years. Option C is also unlikely as traditional labor skills may not provide the income required to keep up with the rising cost of living. Option D is not relevant as there are no indications of a shift of skilled jobs to unskilled labor.
