C. The establishment of government payments to those who could not find jobs. The Progressive Era, which spanned from the 1890s to the 1920s, mainly focused on addressing issues caused by industrialization, urbanization, immigration, and political corruption. While there were many reforms, including women gaining the right to vote (19th Amendment), the direct election of senators (17th Amendment), and greater government regulation of business and industry (e.g., the Sherman Antitrust Act, the Pure Food and Drug Act), the establishment of government payments to those who could not find jobs is more characteristic of New Deal policies during the Great Depression in the 1930s.
