How was the standard of living affected by the Industrial Revolution? According to Wikipedia, “Standard of living is the level of income, comforts and services available, generally applied to a society or location, rather than to an individual. Standard of living is relevant because it is considered to contribute to an individual’s quality of life.” Many people say that nothing changed during the Industrial Revolution, but they are wrong. It actually had lots of positive effects. It increased the standard of living, production of goods, wealth, and more that I do not know. 

The New Deal was a wise series of government actions that healed the problems afflicting the economy. It didn’t really help. The economy was already healing before the New Deal was a thing. The New Deal just made it go a bit faster. It was not very wise though. According to the National Archives (.gov), “Roosevelt’s “New Deal” aimed at promoting economic recovery and putting Americans back to work through Federal activism. New Federal agencies attempted to control agricultural production, stabilize wages and prices, and create a vast public works program for the unemployed.“
