Public+Work+Programs



Public Work Progrmas are government funded projects to build public facilites. These were created to help people who were out of work. FDR created many of these such as the CWA, the CCC, the PWA, the WPA, and the NYA. When President Roosevelt took office in 1933, he feverishly created program after program to give relief, create jobs, and stimulate economic recovery for the U.S. These programs were called "alphabet soup" as well as the "New Deal." Many of these organizations were made to provide the unemployed with jobs, get people spending money, and jumpstart the economy. Some succeeded and others did not.
