The Law That Worked.

Bennett, Michael J.

Educational Record, v75 n4 p6-14 Fall 1994

The original World War II GI Bill fully subsidized education or job training for 7.8 million veterans, making college a realistic expectation rather than an impossible dream, and enabled millions to move to and develop the suburbs. This caused a true social revolution and fueled the longest economic boom in history. (MSE)
