of the

. On
April
8
,

, the
United

part

,
which
was
hoped
would
allow
Americans
to
cope
with the
Great
Depression
.
Creation
of the
Works
Progress
Administration
(WPA)
was the
most
important
accomplishment
of this
Act

more
than
124,000
bridges
,
125,000
public
buildings
,
8,000
parks
, and
850
airport
runways
. The
WPA
also
included
programs
to
support
education
and the
arts
,
providing
employment
opportunities
for
out
of
work
educators
and
artists
of
all
varieties
.
Although
the
United
States
Congress
reduced
funding
for the
program
in
1939
, the
WPA
remained
in
operation
until
June
30
,
1943
.
