Building America - New Deal WPA Program 1936
Description: The Works Progress Administration (WPA), created under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, was a cornerstone of the New Deal, providing jobs to millions during the Great Depression. Through vast public works projects—roads, bridges, airports, schools, parks, and flood control—the program strengthened national infrastructure while restoring dignity through paid employment. Beyond construction, the WPA supported arts, education, public health, and disaster relief, leaving a lasting cultural and economic legacy across the United States.
