A major advancement in electric lights was the invention of the fluorescent light before World War II

Explanation:

The ongoing research on phosphor coated neon tubes that produce visible white light from ultraviolet light in Europe, resulted in research programs into fluorescent lamp lighting in the U. S., which had reached demonstration stage in the mid and towards the late 1930s, such as the World's fair demonstration in New York, 1939.

The fluorescent proved to be more efficient and long lasting than the incandescent bulbs that were in use back then.

the benefits of raising bc’s minimum wage to $15 through a

series of pre-announced staged increases far outweigh the likely

costs. claims that such an increase will lead to massive job losses

in low-wage sectors of the economy are not credible.

• an increase to $15 would result in some job losses. however,

the likely impact is less than a 1 per cent reduction in the overall

provincial employment rate, and a 7.6 per cent reduction in the

employment rate for those currently making between $10.25

and $15 per hour.

• the large job loss impacts predicted by some opponents of

minimum wages misrepresent the existing economic research. in

reading and using that research, it is important to recognize that

estimates showing job loss effects of minimum wage increases

apply only to teenagers. estimated effects for young adult and

adult workers range from insignificant to non-existent.

• focusing on teenage workers plays up an inaccurate stereotype

about who earns very low wages in bc and leads to exaggerated

claims about job losses. only 26 per cent of those currently making

between $10.25 and $12 are teenagers, and only 5 per cent

of those making between $12 and $15 are teenagers.
