Institutionalizing change
It would take about 5 years until the liberal politicians in power took the bold steps of the “Second New Deal”.
The Second New Deal would empower union organizing through the Wagner Act further regulated the treatment of workers through the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 , provide mass employment opportunities through the Workers Progress Administration, and provided benefits to the unemployed and the retired with the Social Security Act.
Government investment in its citizens, regulation of corporations and finance, and the booming economy produced by World War II created the basis for the American middle class.
