How was the New Deal a culmination of the era of progressive reform?

The New Deal was the culmination of the Progressive Era
because it was during the New Deal that the government really took much more of a role
in steering the economy and in protecting working
people.

For example, in the New Deal, Congress passed the
Wagner Act.  This act ensured that workers would have the right to join unions and that
the unions would have the right to bargain collectively.  This was an important step in
reducing the power of big companies and enhancing the power of workers.  Reducing the
power of big companies was a major goal of progressive
reforms.

Similarly, during the New Deal, Congress passed
the Fair Labor Standards Act.  This law set minimum wages for workers and also
established maximums on how long they could be required to work.  Once again, the
government was trying to protect workers from big
companies.

In this way, the New Deal can be seen as a
culmination of the Progressive Era because the New Deal programs did various things to
reduce the power of big business and to help workers.
