Henry Ford and Mass Production

Question 14 • TX-US History Studies Since 1877 A

How did the development of the assembly line affect who Henry Ford could hire at his plants?

Answer
A
He could only hire workers who were skilled in building cars.
B
He could hire unskilled employees and teach them one stage of car production.
C
He could hire skilled employees to teach unskilled workers specific car-making skills.
D
He could hire unskilled workers and teach them each stage of car production.

Explanation

The assembly line divided car production into simple, repeated tasks. Ford could hire workers without car-building skills and train each person to perform one stage, so B is correct. Workers did not need to learn every stage of production.
