The Wagner O'Day Act established which service?

The Wagner O'Day Act established which service?

• A. U.S. Employment Service
• B. Department of Education
• C. Social Security Administration
• D. Federal Trade Commission

Answer: (A)

The key idea is how the federal government organized employment services to help people find work. The act established the U.S. Employment Service, a nationwide system overseen by the Department of Labor that coordinates state and local employment services, providing job referrals, vocational guidance, and labor market information. This created a unified structure for assisting job seekers and connecting them with employers, laying an early foundation for formal career counseling as a public service. The other options refer to agencies with different purposes (education, social security, or federal regulatory enforcement), so they do not reflect the creation of a national employment service.
