Question

how did the work progress administration affect employment for young people?
○ they gave younger workers more rights by encouraging union membership.
○ they increased the job opportunities for younger workers.
○ they caused a decrease in jobs available for younger workers.
○ they made younger workers pay higher taxes because of their age.

Explanation:

The Works Progress Administration (WPA, later renamed Work Projects Administration) was a New Deal program in the U.S. during the Great Depression. It created millions of public-sector jobs, and a significant portion of these roles were filled by young people, directly expanding their employment opportunities. The other options are incorrect: the WPA did not focus on union rights for youth, did not reduce youth jobs, and did not impose age-based higher taxes.

Answer:

B. They increased the job opportunities for younger workers.
