Question
- what new deal program got extra funding to continue and expand during the recession of 1937-1938?
the housing act of 1937
the social security act of 1935
the works progress administration (wpa)
the agricultural adjustment act of 1938 (aaa)
The 1937-1938 recession led to a shift in New Deal policy to focus more on job creation. The Works Progress Administration (WPA), which employed millions in public works projects, received additional funding to expand its efforts to combat rising unemployment. The other options: the 1937 Housing Act was new legislation, the 1935 Social Security Act was not expanded with extra funding during this recession, and the 1938 AAA was a revised version of earlier farm policy, not an existing program getting expanded funding in this period.
