Based on the chart, which statement describes the economic condition of American farm workers during the 1920s? The entry of more women into the workforce meant fewer women were available for farm work. Overproduction reduced crop prices and kept farm workers from enjoying the general prosperity of the times. Subsidies and other government programs allowed farm workers' incomes to match those in industry. Higher prices for farm products resulted in a higher standard of living for all farm workers.
