Answer 2

Answer: Job opportunities in industry.

Step-by-step explanation:

The urban population had been growing steadily since the end of the Civil War, getting the United States to be the country with the largest cities in the world. Economic changes and technological progress developed an industry that required workers moving into the new cities. According to the 1920 United States´ census, by then the population in urban areas had surpassed those in rural areas.
