The Second New Deal

Question 5 • AVAHS 26-27 CCPS SS US History Gr 11 (45.0810000) YL IC (Fall)

Which of the following programs in the Second New Deal provided part-time work to young people?

Answer
A
the National Labor Relations Board
B
the Works Progress Administration
C
the Social Security Administration
D
the Townsend Plan

Explanation

The Works Progress Administration (WPA) created jobs for people who needed work during the Great Depression, including part-time jobs for young people through youth work programs. The National Labor Relations Board protected workers’ rights, and the Social Security Administration administered benefits, so neither provided this kind of employment. The Townsend Plan was a proposal for old-age pensions, not a federal jobs program.
