Relief
after Roosevelt became president, he began to tackle the issue of poverty and unemployment by implementing our program, the civilian conservation corps relief program. more than any other program, our program is the most important as we are known as the president's "pet" program. the plan began by creating 500 thousand jobs for young men to work in the national forests in order to preserve the country's naturally vital geographical locations. Over time, the ccc has expanded into creating more than a million readily available jobs for young men. THE MAIN TARGET FOR EMPLOYMENT HAS BEEN UNEMPLOYED MEN BETWEEN THE AGES OF 18 AND 25. This has allowed for several men to join the working force in order to earn a wage in hopes of aiding the relief of the economical stress which has consisted of severe poverty and high numbers of unemployed citizens. with these available jobs, the economy can start to cycle more readily as men begin earning a living once again.

Recovery
OUR RELIEF PROGRAM HAS PROVIDED JOBS FOR MORE THAN A MILLION YOUNG MEN IN CAMPS LOCATED IN FORESTED AREAS OF THE COUNTRY. FROM PLANTING TREES, TO COMBATING NATURAL DISASTERS SUCH AS SOIL EROSIONS, WORKERS ARE ABLE TO OBTAIN A PROFITABLE WAGE OF 30 DOLLARS A MONTH, WHICH CAN ALLOW FOR WORKERS TO PROVIDE FOOD AND SHELTER FOR THEMSELVES AND ALSO HELP OUT THEIR FAMILIES FINANCIALLY. NOT ONLY ARE WORKERS CREATING A GREENER ENVIRONMENT WHILE EARNING MONEY, BUT THEIR PROFITS ALLOW FOR THEM TO SPEND ON RESOURCES, WHICH IN EFFECT RECREATES A CYCLING ECONOMY. BY GIVING WORKERS THEIR WAGES TO LIVE ON BY SPENDING ON ESSENTIAL GOODS, FARMERS, STORE OWNERS, AND BUSINESSES CAN CYCLE MORE MONEY LITTLE BY LITTLE SO THAT THE FLOW OF THE ECONOMY IS RECOVERED.

Reform
WITH ONE OF THE COUNTRY'S MOST POWERFUL FORCE, THE ARMY, ROOSEVELT WAS ABLE TO USE MILITARY FORCE TO HELP CREATE A STRONG FOUNDATION TO THE CCC PROGRAM. BY CREATING CAMPS FOR WORKERS TO LIVE IN, FOR EASIER LIVING TO WORKING GET-TO DISTANCES, WORKERS ARE GUARANTEED EASY ACCESS TO THE JOB SITE. BY HAVING A GREATLY STRUCTURED WORKFORCE STARTING WITH 500 THOUSAND WORKERS, THE CCC IS BOUND TO BE AN ONGOING PROGRAM AS THE HIGH NUMBER OF WORKERS CORRELATES TO THE SUCCESS OF THE PROGRAM BOTH ENVIRONMENTALLY AND ECONOMICALLY WISE. BY HAVING THIS PROGRAM WRAPPED AROUND AN IMPORTANT, AND ONGOING PURPOSE (THE CONSERVATION OF THE FOREST LIFE AND THE COUNTRY'S ENVIRONMENT), THE PROGRAM'S FORSEEN FUTURE IS A POSITIVE ONE THAT PROMISES MORE JOBS FOR UNEMPLOYED AND POOR MEN IN NEED FOR AN INCOME. A PROGRAM LIKE THIS ONE GREATLY DECREASES THE CHANCES OF A RELAPSE ON THE ECONOMY AS IT HAS SPIKED THE EMPLOYMENT RATE, MORE THAN OTHER PROGRAMS OUT THERE.
