The Works Progress Administration (WPA) was a cornerstone New Deal program launched in 1935 to combat massive unemployment during the Great Depression. Instead of direct relief, the WPA provided paid work on public projects—building roads, schools, hospitals, parks, and airports—while also funding cultural initiatives that employed thousands of artists, writers, musicians, and actors.
