Work relief programs

Work relief programs are government initiatives designed to provide jobs for individuals during times of economic hardship, like the Great Depression. Instead of giving direct financial aid, these programs offer employment opportunities, often in public works projects such as building roads, bridges, and parks. The goal is to help people earn a living while also improving infrastructure and community resources. This approach addresses both unemployment and societal needs, fostering economic recovery by getting people back to work and helping them regain financial independence.
