Depression Relief
What did work relief programs do during the Great Depression?
Franklin D Roosevelt started many work relief programs to help decrease unemployment during the Great Depression in the 1930's. These included Civil Conservation Corps (CCC) and the Works Progress Administration (WPA), National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA) and the National Recovery Administration (NRA).
Does anyone know what these programs did for unemployed people or how the programs worked?
I couldn't disagree more with the above answer. The programs provided much needed jobs during and immediately following the depression, it cleared the lands and areas for many state and national parks, most of which are in existence today, it provided roads, drainage and infrastructure to allow more people to live a better life, and several groups like the CCC which was para-militarily organized provided a nucleus of disciplined leaders for the countries military prior to WWII.
