How did the Works Progress Administration differ from other New Deal programs that provided jobs for the unemployed? it exclusively helped farmers B it reformed banks and businesses it hired artists, musicians and writers D it provided jobs for families

The correct answer is **C. It hired artists, musicians, and writers.**<br /><br />The WPA differed significantly from other New Deal job programs because it extended beyond manual labor and infrastructure projects. While programs like the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and the Public Works Administration (PWA) focused primarily on construction and environmental projects, the WPA employed people in a wide range of fields, including the arts. This made it unique among the New Deal's employment initiatives. The WPA supported artists, musicians, writers, actors, and other cultural workers, enabling them to create public art, performances, and literary works.<br />
