During the Great Depression years of 1933-1938, the development of route 66 provided construction and road maintenance jobs for young males. After its development, it provided even more jobs such as in food and lodging, maintenance, gas station attendants. Route 66 was symbolized as "the road of opportunity" because it allowed for Americans escape from the job scarce east to seek more job opportunities in California.In essence, route 66 provided more jobs and a smooth travel from the Midwest to west.

While legislation for public highways first appeared in 1916, with revisions in 1921, it was not until Congress enacted an even more comprehensive version of the act in 1925 that the government executed its plan for national highway construction. officially, the numerical designation 66 was assigned to the Chicago-to-Los Angeles route in the summer of 1926. With that designation came its acknowledgment as one of the nation's principal east-west arteries.
