That statement is:

b) False.

The statement mentions high wages paid for jobs in major cities, leading to migration from farms to cities. Typically, when there are employment opportunities with higher wages in urban areas, it tends to attract people from rural or agricultural regions. This migration can contribute to the urban workforce and, in some cases, lead to increased employment rates in cities rather than high unemployment rates. Unemployment rates can vary based on several factors, but the scenario described doesn't necessarily align with a direct correlation between high wages, migration and persistently high unemployment rates in cities.
