"WE HAVE A WPA JOB"

It makes our work easier
to tackle when we know

  • Why we have a WPA job
  • Why we have work instead of a dole
  • What good we are doing
The principles underlying WPA are principles that have made America great:

HARD
WORK
AND
COMMON
SENSE
Let's see where we stand with the rest of the workers:

At least a million former workers are unable to work because they are too old or sick or otherwise unemployable.

Several millions more are unemployed but have money or relatives or friends supporting them. They can get by for the present without private jobs.

But there are other millions, most of them with families or relatives they must help, who have neither jobs nor help of any kind. We belong to this group.

All the private jobs in the country are held by the rest of America's workers.

Why can't we get private jobs?
