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.

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. WPA, it supplied the unemployeed with jobs to do things like making streets and they would go to small towns and build things such as parks of anything. During the 8 years it built 651,087 miles of highways and such. Harry L. Hopkins was the head of this. Established in 1935 terminated in 1943. This was because of the War the was coming up. Many workers when on strike because they were getting paid as much.
--Farmers, The RFC.
--Factory Workers/Labor, NLR Act, Established minimum wage .This made sure that employees were getting treated fairly, Set standards for workers, They were very hands on with businesses.

It took place in all the states too. 18-26 were affected by this only. It was very approved by all people. The SCA was founded in 1955 which was very simliar to this. The CCC is not around today.
--Banks/Business/Stock Market, RFC gaves businesses to banks and railroads loans and it gave over 2 billion dollars. It helped set up relief programs.

--Elderly, The Socail Security Act is a tax that is taken out of your income. It covers survivors, old age, and people with disablities. It is still around today. It was pretty successful.
--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.
