Which is a set of push and pull factors tied to immigration that are most directly related?
famine and jobs
war and peace
poverty and religious freedom
famine and peace

The correct answer is A) Famine and jobs.

This happened in American history during the 1840's and 1850's. Ireland experienced a terrible potato famine during the aforementioned time period. This was devastating to Irish citizens, as many of them relied heavily on potatoes as a staple of their diet. Considering the famine, many Irish citizens wanted to move elsewhere in order to survive.

America would become a landing place for many of these citizens, as there was an increased need for unskilled workers in industries in Northern cities in the US. This is why the push factor (famine) and pull factor (jobs) are most directly related.
