The National Recovery Administration (16 June 1933 was the date the National Industrial Recovery Act was passed by Congress and signed by FDR)created codes that set minimum standards of quality for products and services, fair prices for which they would be sold, wages, hours, and conditions under which employees in various industries would work. It also required companies that adopted the codes to bargain collectively with labor unions.
Some critics claimed there was too much government regulation and they compared it to the economies of Fascist Italy and Germany. Others complained that the Blue Eagle Codes went too far. For example, there was a code for the burlesque "industry" that specified how many strippers could undress per performance and the quality of tassels.

At the peak of the Depression, it is estimated that 35-40 percent of the workforce was unemployed. Many workers didn't even bother to try and look for jobs so there is no way to accurately gauge the correct percent of unemployed.
