This book provides a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), a New Deal program that employed millions of Americans during the Great Depression. The author offers a comprehensive analysis of WPA projects, delving into their diverse types, locations, funding sources, and the relative expenditures for labor and other operational costs. Through meticulous statistical analysis, the book reveals the scale and scope of the WPA program, highlighting the significant role played by both federal funds and local sponsors' contributions. The author examines the impact of the WPA on different regions, outlining the variations in project types and funding patterns across the states.
