The 1932 Wagner O'Day Act established which service?

• A. U.S. Employment Service
• B. Civilian Conservation Corps
• C. Federal Bureau of Investigation
• D. National Labor Relations Board

Answer: (A)

This item tests how the federal government organized labor markets during the New Deal. The Wagner O’Day Act helped create a centralized system to connect job seekers with openings across the country. It set up the U.S. Employment Service, a national network that gathered job listings, matched workers to opportunities, and coordinated state employment services to provide consistent labor exchange nationwide. This reflect the era’s push to reduce unemployment by making job placement more efficient and accessible. The other options don’t fit this purpose: the Civilian Conservation Corps was a publicworks program that hired workers for environmental projects, not a general employment service; the Federal Bureau of Investigation is a law-enforcement agency; and the National Labor Relations Board oversees workers’ rights to organize and bargain, not job placement.
