Th CCC enlisted men who were unemplowed and enlisted them into a peacearmy. It was given credit for most of the nation's reforestation accomplishments. Men swarmed to enroll because the CCC reduced the crime rate by 55%. The CCC was created during FDR's first 100 days of his presidency. The requirements were to be between the ages 18 and 26, unmarried, unemployed, and a citizen of the United States. The men recieved $30 per month and the families recieved $25 per month. The men were offered an educational programs and were able to learn how to read and write. Over 90% of the men participated in the educational activities. Over 97,000 miles of road was built. More then 3 billion trees were planted. It decreased the crime rate by 50% and help to US recover from the Dust Bowl. In 1939 the CCC lost its status as an independent agency. The congress funded it and lengthened its time for two more years. It was a great accomplishment of the New Deal. Even though it only last ten years, its effects last for many more years after that.farmersfactory workers/laborThe National Loabor Relations Act was passed July 5, 1933. It allowed employees to join labor unions and in 1945 35% of the work force was in unions. It prohibited unfair labor practices. It was sucessful untin 1947 until Congress passed the Taft-Hartley Act which set restrictions to unions. The congress added moe restrictions on unions with the Landrum-Griffin Act in 1956.young peoplebanks/businessThe Reconstruction Finance Corporation gave money to the banks for loans to give out to the common people. It was passed July 31, 1932 by Hoover and was later continued by FDR. It gave 2 million to aid local and state governments. It gave loans to railroads, banks,crop loans, and other businesses. This is an example of "trickle down economics." It starts at the highest businesses and "trickles" down to the smaller ones eventually.home ownerselderlyNative AmericansDescribe the culture of the 1930's.Key terms:Hundred Daysfireside chatspriming the pumpdeficit spending
