How did the New Deal help the following:
Unemployed- -PWA- Public Work Administration

made by National Industrial Recovery Act and administered by Harold Ickes
spent about $4 billion building schools, courthouses, city halls, public health facilities, roads, bridges, dams, and subways. - -CCC – Civil Works Administration was under control of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration. Coast $200 million a month to pay for supplies and workers wages, budget only had $400 million.. Act ended March 31, 1934 after it spend a billion dollars in its five month period. Many politicians criticize the program. Supplied a lot of jobs, but they didn’t last long because could not afford to pay the employees. --The PWA built things to help the unemployeed. They used billions of dollars. It helped people have more jobs. It did construction projects. The CWA was created on Nov 8, 1933. This created about Four million jobs but they were only temperary because it ened after five months. Many people thought that it was unofficail because it way over budget. It cost $200 million a month to pay for supplies and workers wages. RFC. USHA-- Housing program was to help the poor get jobs. They built apartment type houses for these people and it would put people back on track. This lead into the PWA. NYA (National Youth Administration) It gave people jobs. Its not around today. It gave young people money to build like school and such. People would do these jobs during or after school. This was mainly for young people. This was for girls and boys. This allowed them to stay in school. They did like school project wages were about 6-40 dollars a month dependung on how much work they did. It helped for future job training. They were criticized because these people were getting paid with tax dollars and people thought that it was a waste of tax dollars. Overall it was successful though. The CCC- The Corps-young adult skills. Ran from 1933 to 1942. They planned this to be a temporary program. It was caused by the Great Depression. It was one of the most popular arrangements known, as well as very approved. The SCA was started in 1957, which was pretty much the exact same thing as the CCC. The CCC was meant for young single, men only, from the ages of 18-25. The CCC was very successful, but is not around today.. the Indian Reorganization act was set up tp hjelp out Indians in despair. Essentially it gave them mroe land that we took from them. This act restated the Dawes Act and broke up the land and gave it to individual triebes. Land of the Indians went from 138 million square acres in 1887 to only 48 million square acres. The IRA was also known as the Wheeler- Howard Act. Even though this act was made up tp help the Indians many tribes sucjh as the Crows Klamath and Navajo chose to reject it. 174 accepted the act and 78 rejected it. The government had a great influence in the IRA- It was willing to give the Indians a chance to set up their own littler governments within their tribes. THis IRA started in 1934 by Harold L. Ickes. We essentially grew away from this act over the years, it is to the fact around today, but not really head on. It is actually very strict, as if their own country. Leaving it unsuccessful in some ways because its hard to get them back up on their own feet again, but it was successful in ways where to allow them to go their own way and own their own land. When we decided to put them on reservations, twe would put them on an already used reservation. The whites took surveys on how well they were doing and they sitll were in the slums, not governing them the way we wanted them to. When we set up this act we thought it woudl be for th ebst of them, but overal it was kinda 20/20. The WPA-- Works Project Administration. Harry L.

WPA was established in 1935 and then later revised in 1939. In 1939 changed name.. Didnt really have a downfall because it just kind of went under because by the time of the war any ppl who joined this group had gotten a job and were able to go independent. Many workers went on strike as well.
Farmers-The RFC. -The Soil Conservation, to control soil erosion and over production of crops. It gave financial and technical support to farmers. Farmers didn't really think it thought because tthey thought that the government would eventually take over the farms. The Act Surplus basically paid farmers to produce less crops that were currently in abundance. The Tennesses Valley Authority AAA-Agricultural Act of 1933 started dMay 12, 1933 Farmers would be paid to cut down their crop are. They approved the act of 1933 in 1938.

Banks/business- RFC gaves businesses to banks and railroads loans and it gave over 2 billion dollars. It helped set up relief programs. This was Hoover's thing but it was continued by FDR.

This is still around today, and was successful, but wonders if it will be in the future, because the government has got to figure something out.
Native Americans-- IRA, Helped many Indians that were living in the slums. We gave up land and set it aside for the indians. It basically got rid of the Daw's Act. We assigned land to indivual tribes. it went form 130 million square acres in 1887 to only 48 million. There were three tribes that didn't this because they didn't trust us. Up til this point it was all about taking away from Native Americans. With this act we were giving back to them. It is still around today. It was successful, but it was too little too late. Many times we would end up assigning tribes with big rivals and that would make them made. They couldn't get control of their government.
