The economy continued to struggle with high unemployment rates and widespread poverty.
Roosevelt launched the Second New Deal (1935 onward) because the first round of programs hadn't ended mass unemployment or poverty. He responded with new, more permanent relief and reform measures — e.g., the Works Progress Administration, Social Security Act, Wagner (National Labor Relations) Act, and tougher tax/anti-monopoly measures — to provide jobs, income security, and stronger protections for labor.
