FERA government gave money to the states to help provide food, work, and homes to people. FERA provided work for 20 million people. PWA created jobs but was too expensive and was not successful and did not help with getting us out of the Depression. PWA put money into construction projects and created jobs for people. WPA was started to feed children provide clothing and give needs to the poor. WPA helped people get jobs for what they do. Example, good at painting you’d be a painter. WPA provides 1 million students with some kind of work, whatever they could do. CWA created construction jobs for people. CWA only lasted 6 months because it was too costly and was over budgeted. NRA set minimum wages and maximum hours. Blue eagle meant that the businesses were treating their workers right.
Farmers- TVA- everyone was taxed for the TVA and it only benefited for people in Tennessee. Flooding would be prevented. Farm land would be better.
