Answer 1

Many New Deal programs were established during the Great Depression primarily **to help people find jobs and make money**. The Great Depression led to massive unemployment and economic hardship across the United States, and the New Deal, implemented by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, aimed to provide relief for those suffering, recovery of the economy, and reforms to prevent future economic crises. These programs included public works projects, employment initiatives, and various forms of assistance designed to stimulate economic activity and support those in need.
