Which Act of 1933 laid the foundation of the employment service offices that later became One-Stops and the Employ Florida Marketplace?

• A. Wagner-Peyser
• B. Civilian Conservation Corps Act
• C. Social Security Act
• D. National Labor Relations Act

Answer: (A)

The question is asking which 1933 law created the public system of employment offices that later evolved into modern One-Stop centers and the Employ Florida Marketplace. The Wagner-Peyser Act of 1933 established the Public Employment Service and required states to operate public employment offices that match job seekers with employers, providing a coordinated, federally funded framework for job placement. This act laid the groundwork for the nationwide employment-service network that later transformed into the One-Stop career centers and, in Florida, the Employ Florida Marketplace.

The other acts addressed different goals: the Civilian Conservation Corps Act created a public works program for relief work rather than a formal employment-service network; the Social Security Act (1935) established unemployment insurance and welfare provisions rather than labor exchange offices; and the National Labor Relations Act protected workers’ organizing rights, not employment services.
