Hi

The answer is option c. relied on tourism as a primary source of jobs

The correct answer is C) relied on tourism as a primary source of jobs.

During the Great Depression, New Mexico relied on tourism as a primary source of jobs.

New Mexico was one of the poorest states in the country in the 1920s. Things got worse with the stock market crash of October 1929. Facing this situation, the state tried to impulse tourism and the sale of crafts. Indeed, the government created the Federal Art Project to support art, culture, and music under the New Deal package promoted by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The sale of arts and tourism helped to mitigate the difficult economic situation in New Mexico.
