There are numerous history specialists who see the New Deal approaches of President Franklin D. Roosevelt as the start of the social welfare arrangement of the Federal Government. Amid the Great Depression, there were numerous men who had no employments; thus, their families endured hardship and yearning. The New Deal projects were a progression of local projects, for example, the Federal Emergency Relief

The Workforce Matters guide for New York State agencies is a very valuable guide and relevant in 2012. It provides insight into the agency staff by recognizing the aging workforce and upcoming retirement; it recognizes the knowledge, experience and institutional memory that will leave the company once these long term employees leave. The plan addresses the changing demographic of its customers and the potential need for “new methods of service delivery and a workforce that reflects its customers”.

Numerous projects took shape in St. Louis during the Great Depression. The Crisis Relief Campaign, Works Progress Administration, and several local task forces sought to relieve the city of the economic strife that plagued the United States during the 1930s. Although there were valiant efforts to improve housing shortages, hunger issues, and unemployment,

57). Before the Great Depression of the thirties, the popular opinion was that the federal government should not be heavily involved in providing social welfare. However, the urbanization and industrialization of the early twentieth century, as well as the economic pressure of the 1930s, proved to be more than what state and local governments or private organizations could provide for. These pressures gave way for President Franklin D. Roosevelt to lead America into the New Deal. This included the creation of the U.S. Social Security Program, unemployment assistance, and needs-tested assistance (Salamon 1999, p.58). Roosevelt’s New Deal still left limited coverage, limited funding, and left much of the delivery of social service to state and local governments. Even with all the changes that have occurred in federal programs and policy over the years, Salamon shows that combined state and local governments continued to nearly match the amount of federal spending from 1950 through 1994 (p.59). This again reflects the tension and nature of the American system, which was intended to lean on the strength of the public to innovate and provide for itself. The debate over the amount of government involvement in providing assistance for Americans is still a very important issue as it relates to the role of nonprofit organizations in American society.

     By 1933 millions of Americans were out of work. Bread lines were a common sight in most cities. Hundreds of thousands of people scoured the country in search of food, work, or a roof. There was a popular song from this era known as “Brother, can you spare a dime (Modern)?” A big step that happened for the unemployed were the Civilian Conservation Corps, a government program that brought relief to men between the ages of 18 and 25. The Conservation Corps gave jobs to young men in work camps across the country for about $30 per month. There were about 2 million men that took advantage of these jobs (The Great Depression). These men took part in a variety a jobs that included: planting trees, elimination stream pollution, creating game and bird sanctuaries, and conserving natural gases. For the other part of society work relief came in the form of the Civil Works Administration. These jobs consisted of ditch digging to highway repairs to teaching. Civil Works Administration was created in November 1933 and was ceased in the spring of 1934. Roosevelt continued to offer unemployment programs that offered pay (America).

Nevertheless, with the help of Eleanor Roosevelt, women benefited with the increasing of employment opportunities that were create with the New Deal and Second New Deal policies. Women were employed on FERA, “Federal Emergency Relief Administration” projects, which were run by state funds (Woolner). One of the agencies of this administration that was created through the New Deal programs and directly assisted women was the Work Progress Administration. The WPA was created in 1935 and hired single women, widows, or women with disabled or absent husbands (Kennedy 625). While the WAP employed men in unskilled manual labor job, women were assigned sewing projects. They were in charge of making clothing, blankets, and other necessities that were given to charities and hospitals (Ware 43). Women were also hired in the school lunch programs created by the WPA and in its Federal Art project, which gave 162 women a job painting murals and creating statues for the newly built post office buildings and court houses (Ware 47). The New Deal policies, while their main target was employing and benefitting the male population, with the help of Eleanor Roosevelt, employment for women also increased and provided a foundation for Women’s Rights Movement (Woolner).

They write, “In response to the massive unemployment of the 1930’s, Roosevelt’s New Deal in 1933 introduced the first federal relief programs targeted at the poor and unemployed… he anticipated that the work relief jobs would boost consumer spending and thus increase demand for labor, which would then raise private employment and earnings.” (Neuman, Fishback, Kanton, pg 4) This quotes illustrates that programs such as these relief jobs, would not only be able to get the people back to work, but also get the economy up and running again.

During the Great Depression when so many went without food and clothing, the destruction of food and cotton was not well accepted by the American public. In response, the Federal Surplus Relief Corporation was created in 1933 to purchase surplus food and distribute it to those
