Answer 1

Pro-labor legislation such as minimum wage and social security contributed to the boom of the middle class and improved workers' conditions after the Great Depression.

Therefore, the correct answer is: option D) boom.

Step-by-step explanation:

After the Great Depression, pro-labor legislation such as minimum wage and social security played a significant role in the economy and the growth of the middle class.

These measures aimed to improve the condition of workers and provide financial security for retirees.

Although the advent of the Great Depression reduced AFL membership to fewer than 3 million, the Depression helped advance the labor movement by creating sympathy for the plight of working people (at the depths of the Depression, about one-third of the American work force was unemployed).

For example, social security provided a safety net for people after their retirement, while minimum wage ensured that workers received a fair compensation for their labor.
