What does PWA mean in history?

In history, PWA stands for the Public Works Administration, a New Deal agency created by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933. The PWA aimed to stimulate the economy and provide relief during the Great Depression by funding public infrastructure projects such as construction of roads, bridges, dams, and schools. Its initiatives helped create jobs and improve the nation's infrastructure.


Is the PWA a relief recovery or reform program?

The Public Works Administration was created by the National Industrial Recovery Act in 1933. It was created to spend large sums of money on big public works. The Act budgeted billions of dollars on public works construction thus providing employment to a large number of the unemployed, improve the public welfare, and contribute to stabilizing the economy and reviving American industry. It was first suggested by the Secretary of Labor, Frances Perkins and approved by such New Dealers as Harold Ickes, James Farley, and Henry Wallace. FDR agreed to include the PWA as part of the New Deal measures but he demanded that the initial cost of the PWA be scaled back. It was never a success. It spent over $6 billion but did very little to jump-start the economy and it did not significantly reduce the unemployment rate. When the economy turned to wartime production in 1941, the PWA was abandoned.
