og-6: 请教一句话

HHB

After the boll weevil infestation, urban Black

workers faced competition from the continuing influx

of both Black and White rural workers, who were driven

(50) to undercut the wages formerly paid for industrial jobs.

Thus, a move north would be seen as advantageous

to a group that was already urbanized and steadily

employed, and the easy conclusion tying their subse-

quent economic problems in the North to their rural

background comes into question.

不明白最后一句话(thus...)的意思, their指代的是谁呢？请指教，谢谢。

指代a group that was already urbanized and steadily

employed,也就是上句话中的urban Black

workers.

整句话的意思是，因此,向北移民对那些已经城市化和被雇佣的人是有好处的，这样简单的下结论把他们在北方遇到的经济问题归结于他们的乡村背景就是不正确的了.

翻译的粗糙,对付着看意思就可以了。呵呵
