Content: Although the AAA was overall a successful program that stimulated American agriculture, it was not without its faults. The New Deal never had the money or political power required to reach the majority of impoverished Southern tenant farmers. By the last half of the century sharecropping and tenant farming had become obsolete. SUCCESS
WPA (Works Progress Administration)
was the largest and most ambitious New Deal agency, employing millions of men and women to carry out public works projects, including the construction of public buildings and roads, and operated large arts, drama, media, and literacy projects. It fed children and redistributed food, clothing, and housing. The WPA had provided almost 8 million Americans with jobs for 8 years. Most people who needed a job were eligible for at least some of its positions. Hourly wages were typically set to the prevailing wages in each area. During 1940, the WPA changed policy and began vocational educational training of the unemployed to make them available for factory jobs. Previously, labor unions had vetoed any proposal to provide new skills.
