Content: These were part of the New Deal; one of these was the WPA (the Works Progress Administration) which employed many people in making various libraries, constructing works of art, and building huge projects such as the Tennessee Valley Authority, and the Hoover Dam.

The Civil Conservation Corps was another program that helped men get back to work: Roosevelt proposed to recruit thousands of unemployed young men, enlist them in a peacetime army, and send them to battle the erosion and destruction of the nation’s natural resources.
