Discuss the full scope, nature, and impact of the New Deal programs created to put Americans back to work.

There were many New Deal programs that were created to bring relief to the American people and recovery to the American economy. The Civilian Conservation Corps was designed to give young people jobs. Males between the ages of 18–25 would work on conservation projects. This experience would give them skills and build up their confidence. The Public Works Administration, the Civil Works Administration, and Works Progress Administration were government programs designed to get the economy going again. Many people got jobs building roads, bridges, parks, schools, and airports. These jobs not only helped begin the revival process for the American economy, they also helped bring relief to the American people.
There were several impacts of these New Deal programs. These programs certainly provided help to many Americans that were desperately looking for work. These programs also helped to revive the economy. However, it was not until World War II occurred that the economy really returned to a more normal condition with lower unemployment and more economic activity. Additionally, these programs led many Americans to believe that the government should act as a safety net in times of significant economic distress. More people began to believe that the government could not sit back and do nothing when the economy significantly sputtered and many people were out of work.
