Which of the following gave the american economy a major boost in the years after world war ii? the return of thousands of veterans who were seeking jobs the conversion to a peacetime economy a pent-up demand for consumer goods a major drop in government spending

The correct answer is a pent-up demand for consumer goods.

The post-WWII years were a period of great economic growth in the United States. This was due to the industrial expansion that happened during the war and the increase in birth rate (baby-boom), among other factors. Now in peacetime, the industry could focus on producing new commercial goods and the increasing population not only met the offer but enlarged the demand for new industrial goods produced in the market. The demand was stuck during the war as well as the fertility rate, but during the postwar both started to increase leading the country to a new period of great prosperity and wealth.
