Question

how did the new deal address the low consumer confidence that resulted from the great depression?

the new deal allowed people to receive jobs and start earning a wage again, helping to restore consumer confidence

the new deal increased the involvement of the american government in the economy which helped to restore consumer confidence

the new deal created programs that helped to supply people with recently manufactured goods, thus giving people confidence in the american economy

the new deal gave people recently printed money to allow them to afford basic necessities like food and shelter, thus restoring consumer confidence

Explanation:

The New Deal's core employment programs (like the WPA and CCC) directly provided jobs and wages to unemployed Americans during the Great Depression. Having a steady income let people participate in the economy again, which directly rebuilt their confidence in their own financial stability and the broader economy. While increased government involvement was a feature, the direct provision of jobs/wages was the most direct solution to low consumer confidence. The other options are incorrect: the New Deal did not focus on supplying manufactured goods to restore confidence, nor did it give out newly printed money directly to people for necessities.

Answer:

A. The New Deal allowed people to receive jobs and start earning a wage again, helping to restore consumer confidence
