Works Progress Administration (WPA) The Works Progress Administration (WPA) was instituted by presidential executive order under the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of April 1935, to generate public jobs for the unemployed. The WPA was restructured in 1939 when it was reassigned to the Federal Works Agency.
Far fewer women were enrolled than men. Just 13.5 percent of WPA employees were women in 1938, its top enrollment year. The WPA was charged with selecting projects that would make a real and lasting contribution ~ez_mdash~ but would not vie with private firms. As it turned out, the pump-priming effect of federal projects actually stimulated private business during the Depression years.
