Thoughts on New Deal

When Roosevelt took office his goal was to tackle the situation in the United States first before dealing with oversea economic affairs. He put the New Deal into effect to hopefully solve the current crisis the country is going through and to make sure that the crisis won’t happen again in America. 

I feel like that was the best choice to make because if you can’t solve the crisis your own country is going through, then how can you tackle the situation aboard. Roosevelt sees that his country need help in recovering from this financial debt. That’s why when he won the presidency his first duty was to come up with a plan to help the people in the Unties State. The New Deal was put in place to try and end the misery that the American people is going through. The New Deal also help decrease the unemployment number by putting people back to work and climbing out of the great depression. During that time company rebranded itself and was trying to create more jobs for the people to have and support their living situation. The New deal was also trying to get young unemployed and unskilled people into the workforce because when the New Deal was put in place they figure out that the younger people are most affected by this financial crisis. 

When Civil Work Administration (CWA) was created it was meant to provide work to employees, which as jobs like fixing up city halls, docks, and public roads to rebuild the economy and the lives of Americans. It was a policy to give jobs to Americans but at the same time rebuild the country as a hold from the great depression. During the great depression, people were out of work and they didn’t have enough money to support their families. Moreover, they didn’t have enough money to pay the worker. 

Jobs that help Americans come out of the great depression were mainly repetitive. It was like an assembling line job where you do the task over and over again to finish productions. These types of jobs did give millions of people jobs after the great depression, and it drive up productions which mean it help build more economic income for the company and the country.
