Job+Programs

=Job Programs= CCC-Civilian Conservation Corp and WPA- Works Progress Administration

Job programs were a part of the economic relief of the New Deal. These programs included the Civilian Conservation Corps(CCC), the Civil Works Administration, and the Works Progress Administration (WPA). These programs also employed 13 million and spent over 15 billion in federal funds. During the Depression, these groups such as the CCC and WPA gave people who lost their jobs a chance to find work with jobs that included mainly construction. This ended up benefitting contemporary society because they built over 125,000 public buildings that included gyms, hospitals, libraries, offices, prisons, and schools.
