  4. Jobs and Relief Roosevelt gave high priority to creating jobs. He planned to help the unemployed with work relief programs, giving needy people government jobs. During his first month in office, FDR asked Congress to create the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). Roosevelt appointed Harry Hopkins a New York social worker, to lead the Federal Emergency Relief Administration. (FERA.) The New Dealers claimed the action was necessary to bring prices up.

  5. Assessing The Early New Deal The New Deal did not cure the nation’s ills. The Depression dragged on, bringing continued hardship. Farmers continued to lose their land. Unemployment remained at high levels. Many people still struggled to survive and to make ends meet. Yet the darkest days had passed. The panic of 1932 and 1933 had receded, and the flurry of activity from the nation’s capital had restored some measure of confidence.

  6. Rebuilding a Region One of the boldest programs launched during the Hundred days was the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). The TVA aimed to control flooding, promote conservation and development, and bring electricity to rural areas along the Tennessee River. Some critics charged that funds for the TVA should be used to support programs nationwide. When the spring rains came in 1937, however, the system worked-the dams prevented the Tennessee River from flooding.
