The '''Works Progress Administration''' (WPA) was created by Executive Order in 1935 by President [[Franklin Roosevelt]] as part of the [[New Deal]] effort to continue relief efforts during the [[Great Depression]]. The program was wracked with croniism and favoritism and is regarded by many as a waste of effort which may have actually worked to prolong the Great Depression.<ref>[http://www.indiana.edu/~liblilly/wpa/wpa_info.html ''More about the WPA''].
