      "title": "Job Creation Programs of the Great Depression: The WPA and the CCC",
      "summary": "In light of the continuing severe impact on the labor force of the recession that began in December 2007, some members of the public policy community have expressed interest in job creation programs that were enacted to help unemployed workers weather the Great Depression. This report first describes the social policy environment in which the 1930s job creation programs were developed and examines the reasons for their shortcomings then and as models for current-day countercyclical employment measures. It next provides a brief overview of the two job creation programs of the Depression period about which Members of Congress have asked most frequently: the Works Progress or Projects Administration (WPA) and the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC).",
