Notes:

"In 1933, the US government starting putting a large amount of money into public works, helping the economy, building communities, and keeping people working. The PWA, or Public Works Administration, did a lot of high-profile work, but the PWA helped communities and projects of all sizes.... [T]he PWA (and its relative, the WPA) had a somewhat undeserved reputation for laziness."
