What year was unemployment insurance introduced?

  1. 1927

  2. 1940

  3. 1951

  4. 1965

The correct answer is: 1940

Unemployment insurance was first introduced in 1940 under the Social Security Act, which was a response to the Great Depression. Option A, 1927, is incorrect because unemployment insurance did not exist as a federal program before 1940. Option C, 1951, is also incorrect because it is several years after the correct answer of 1940. Option D, 1965, is incorrect because it is too late and by then, unemployment insurance was already an established program.
