Answer 1

Answer:

Unemployment was still high.

Many were still living in poverty.

Explanation:

Even though the First New Deal (1933 - 1934) had introduced national planning laws and programs for the poor, by 1935 unemployment remained very high, and per capita income was lower than in 1929. The Roosevelt recession of 1937, created by decreased government spending and new taxes, harmed the economy. The Second New Deal (1935 - 1939) was aimed to improve social welfare and apply federal control to boost economic recovery.
