REPORT ON PROGRESS OF THE WORKS PROGRAM
Em:RGENCY DROUGHT RELIEF
Continued heat and deficient rainfall in many sections of the oountry, partioularly in the Middle West. resulted in the exten.aion of the designated ._rgenoy drought
area to include 966 countie•
EMERGENCY DROUGHT COUNTIES
in 22 States by August 15•
As of Aug. 15, 1936
19S6 • During the month ending on this date counties in
Iowa, Illinois, Texas, West
Virginia, s.nd Wisconsin were
added to the emergency list.
All the counties in three
States - North Dakota, South
Dakota, and Oklahoma - are
now included, and more than

WPA Activities
In order to provide immediate help for persons living in the emergency drought
counties, WPA employment quotas for the States in which the counties are looated have been
inoreased. Additional drou ght relief oases

In addition to providing for the expansion of employment under the WPA program
to include drought victims the Presi dent made funds available ($3.000,000) for loans and direct r elief to farmers. A total of $2,500,000 from this allocation has been trEl?lsferred to
the Resettlement Administration for distribution i n the form of loans. From the remaining
funds, North Dakota and South Dakota ea.oh
have received $100,000. In North Dakota
the money is being used to provide direct
re lief benefits to persons employed or
def initely to be employed on WPA projects,
dur ing the period before their first WPA
oay checks are received. Three hundred
and nine persons received such oash aid
during the week ending August 1, 1936.
In South Dakota the funds are being used
to i nstitute small "State projects"
which do not require approval from Washington and which will su~ply relief for
emergency drought oases until regular
'NPA employment oe.n be provided. The
projects started so far consist primarily of well digging and small dam const ructi on.
Resettlement Administration Measures
The Resettlement Administration is making loans e.nd grants to
dr ought cases. By August 11 nearly
$1,000,000 (including the $2,500,000
transferred from WPA funds) had been allocated to 22 States for this form of relief. The remainder of this agency's
drou ght relief program represents an amplification of its long-range program
for the sections of the country which
have suffered more or less regularly
fr om droughts. The land-use adjustment
projects in North Dakota, South Dakota,
DROUGHT PLUS IN~TS
Montane., Nebraska, and Wyoming involve
the purchas~ of about 4,000,000 a.ores of
land unsuit a o~& for farming, at a oost of about $13,700,000. Most of this land will be converted into controlled grazing ran~es on whi ch grasses will build up a natural oover for
the soil , making it less subjeot to de structive wind erosion. An effort is also being made
to encourage an increase in the size of existing f ann units, to facilitate the shift from
grain cultivation to the raising of livestock f odder, supplemented by the use of larger
acreages f or pasture. The Resettlement Administr ation reports that aid had been extended
to over 47,000 drought-stricken farmers by Augus t 8.
AAA Parti cipation
To provide for replenishment of feed and f orage orops damaged by the drought in
the southern r egion of the United State~, the ,l\Gr j cultur~.l A~justm0rrt Acl'Ttinistration has
made provisions qnablinp.: farmer<: to mak·· late plantln~s of t he se oro'Ps . 'l:l:i.therto farmers
have been paid for diverting acreage from soil-de pleting crops to grass e.nd other soil•
enriching vegetation. Now the emeq;er..cy requires lifting t he restrictions, and the payments will be matle for the reyr.ainder of the year even to f armers who planted new feed and
forage or ops after July 1, provided their farms are located in the drought areas.
On August 3 the AAA began the purchase of cattle from drought areas, under authorization to buy approximately 5,000 head of cattle 1n five leading markets in the Middle
West. Purchases are to be made at market prices for animals of comparable class and grade
and will be restricted to those least uuitable for resale as stockers or feeders. The
cattle purchased will be processed on contract for the Government and the meat turned over
to .the Federal Surplus Commodities Corporation for relief distribution. Purchases of other
commodities by this agency for distribution in 19 drought States through August 14 coat
more than $2.500.000 and included flour, canned beef, fruits. vegetables, mill feed, and
dry skim milk.
Other Cooperating Bureaus
The Soil Conservation Service was employing approximately 2,000 persons cert1fied as drought cases on its soil erosion projects in 11 States on August 8. About the
same number of drought relief oases will be given employment under the 60-day development
program planned by the Biological Survey under an allotment of tsoo.ooo made available on
August 3 and providing for conservation of water on 53 projects - 41 of them in North Dakota. The Extension Service of the Department of Agriculture is continuing to aid farmers in drought areas in finding pasture and markets for their livestock, to certify those
entitled to reduced railroad rates for shipment of livestock or feed; and to give technical advice on such subjects as food canning and family budgets. The Bureau of Agricultural Economics is cooperating with other bureaus in determining the location of hay and
forage available for shipment to drought areas. The yard and meat inspection forces of
the Bureau of Animal Industry have been made available to supervise handling of drought
cattle. The Bureau of Home Economics reports that 550 persons certified as drought oases
are among those employed on its consumer purchases study in 23 drought counties.

EMPI.llYMENT UNDER 'tHE WORKS PROGRAM
The Works Program provided employment for 3, 297,000 pers ons during the week ending July 25, 1936. The table on the following page shows that 2,248,000 workers , or 68
percent of the total, were on the payrolls of the Works Progress Administration. Emergency Conservation Work supplied emplOl']llent f o~ 404, 000 persons, or 12 percent of t he total,
while the remaining 20 percent, amount i n g to 645,000 persons, was divided among the 37
other Federal agenoies operating work project s . Aooording to the latest available data
the Bureau of Public Roads f'urni shed work f or 236,000 persona. The Non-Federal Division
of t he PWA employed more than 166,000 persons. Large employment total• were also reported
under the programs of the Resett lement Administrati on with 64, 000 workers, the Puerto Rico
Recons truction Administration with more than 38,000, t he Corps of Engineers with 37,000,
and the Bureau of Entomolo gy and Plant Quarantine with almost 26,000 wor kers. The Forest
Service and the Soil Conservation Servi ce - the only other a genoie s providing work for as
many as 10,000 persons - employed about 12,000 and 14,000 workers respectively. Table l

the increase in employment

drought areas. Similarly,

WORKS PROGRAM EMPLOYMENT
Ad/!11n1stu !M1n
Practically ever y week during the recent months prior to July had shown an increase in the number of persons employed by the group of Federal agencies exc lusive of WPA
and ECW. However, during July employment under these agencies was reduced by 20,000 persons
a s a result of the completion or approaching completion of projects operated by these agencies and the exhaustion of f'unds allocated to them under the ERA Act of 1935 . The Soil Conservation Service released nearly 13,000 workers. Decreases in employment r anging from
2,000 to 5,000 persons were reported by the Forest Service, the Quartermaster Corps, the Bureau of the Census, and the Corps of Engineers. The nmnber of persons employed by the Reset t l ement Administration dropped 1,700. Among the agencies with increasing employment we~e
the Non-Federal Division of the PWA, the Bureau of Public Roads, and the Puerto Rico Reconstruction Administration, with gains of about 4,000, 2,800, and 2,500 persons respectively.
With the exception of the Housing Division of the PWA with a reduction of 900 persons and
the Bureaus of Reclamation and of Entomology and Plant Quarantine wit h increas&s of 500 persons, other agencies reported changes of only a few hundred persons.

The reduction in the number of WPA workers was greatest in Massachusetts and
Ohio where the losses amounted to approximately 6.500 and 7,900 persons respectively. Net
declines in employment on "WPA projects ranged from 1.000 to 3,000 workers in 12 States.
notably Kentucky, New York. Texas, and Virginia. All but 13 States showed reduced numbers
of VIPA workers during July. Among the 13 States reporting a rise in the number of WPA
workers, North Dakota and South Dakota were outstanding. Drought relief measures were responsible for the increases of 15,000 and 12,000 persons, respectively, in these two States
and for smaller increases in other States.
In approximately a third of the States W"Orkers under agencies other than ll'PA and
ECW i ncreased. Ohio was noteworthy in this group, with 3.ooo added workers finding employment for the most pa.rt on projects of the Non-Federal Division of the PWA. In other States
reduction in the combined employment of other agencies ranged from a ft!llf hundred to 3,000.
The decrease of 3,000 in Florida is acoounted for by ourtailment on Corps of Engineers projects. Employment data for all States may be found in Table 3 on page 70.

FINANCIAL PROCEDURE UNDER THE EMERGENCY RELIEF APPROPRIATION ACT
OF 1936
The Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1956 provided $1,426,000,000 to be
xpended for relief and work relief under the direction of the President of the United
States. The act provided for 10 classes of public projects with specific limitations
imposed within which work projects could be approved and financed from the funds appropriated.
Approval of the new act did not automatically terminate the operation of the
Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1936. Work projects under ~he jurisdiction of
Federal agencies other than the Works Progress Administration are in many oases still
operating under funds appropriated by the 1936 act. Such projects are not affected
by the new act but continue operation as in the past so long as funds from the prior
act a.re available. Regulations prescribed under the authority of the 1936 act do not
in any way alter the status of such projects.
Project Approval Procedure
The procedure for making allocations to projects under the new act is substantially the same as under the 1936 aet. Projects to be operated under the jurisdiction of a Federal agency and financed from funds appropriated by the ERA Act of
1936 ma.y be approved for operation under a direct allocation of funds by the President, or they ma.y be sponsored by the Federal agency, and then submitted for approval through the WPA and financed .from funds allocated to the WPA. In either case,
project applications of Federal agencies a.re submitted to the WPA for check as to
the availability of relief labor at the site of the project. The application is
then forwarded to the Bureau of the Budget where, upon clearance, it is submitted to
the President for final approval. The President indicates his approval by forwarding to the Treasury a letter giving a description of thA project, indicating the
official project number and the amount of money allocated. The Treasury then prepe.res a warrant for countersignature by the Comptroller General, Unon clearance of
the Presidential letter and countersignature of the warrant by the Comptroller General, the warrant is returned to the Treasury where an advice or allocation is prepared and issued to the Federal agency concerned, authorizing expenditures to be made
on the approved project by that agency.
Works Progress Administration projects, whether sponsored by local governmental units or by other Federal agencies, follow this same procedure. In the case
of projects aponsored by local govermnental units, the additional approval of the
District and State WPA offices is required before the project application is submitted to the Washington WPA headquarters prior to approval by the President.
Expenditure Procedures
The 1936 act specifies that no Federal project shall be prosecuted thereunder unless and until an amount sufficient for its completion has been allocated
and irrevocably set aside. Projects under the jurisdiction of the WPA are for the
most part non-Federal projects and accordingly not subject to this provision of the
act.

of work within whioh work projeots may be approved for operation, authorizations for project expenditures issued by the Treasury indiute in eaoh oase the appropriation or olaas of
ll'Ork pr.ascribed by the act, within whioh the approved project will operate.
As stated above, Federal agencies in many oases had sufficient old funds to continue operations after the approval date of the new act. This was not true in the case of
the Works Progress Administration, and as soon as the 1936 act was signed by the President,
it immediately became necessary to use the new funds to continue operation of the WPA work
program. To resubmit all projects to Washington for reapproval and reclassification in accordance with the above procedure would have meant the temporary halting of all WPA operations in the field until this process could have been oompleted. The aot, however, contained a provision for the continuanoe of all W'PA projects previously approved. These continued projeots are not subjeot to the limitation• presoribed by the act.
On June 22, 1936, the President allocated 1360,000,000 to the WPA for the continuation of previously approved VfPA projects. An additional $100,000,000 was provided on
August 4, 1936. The Treasury, after setting up an appropriation aocotmt for these continued projects, issued advices of allocations in the above amounts to the WPA. The WPA in
Washington in turn issued this authorization to the several State WPA administrations.

The prooedure for transferring the oontinued projects to operation tmder 1936 funds was quite simple.
The State WPA 1 s, upon receipt of these
funds, immediately authorized the
Treasury State Aocounts Office to acoept encumbrances against all offioial
projects in operation as of that date.
This authorization specifies eaoh official project in detail, showing the
amount enoumbered on eaoh project
prior to the date of transfer, the
amount neoessary to complete the projeot and other identifying information.
The same prooedure is followed in the
oase of projects approved subsequent
to the effeotive date of the new aot.
Authorization for expenditure of
funds on such projects is issued to
the State Treasury Accounts Office as
described above.
The 1936 act also provided
that such funds as may be necessary

Treasury Department report on status of funds provided in the .Emergency
Relief Appropriation Acts of 1935 and 1936, as of July 31, 1936.
!/ Includes
$42,331,268 allocated to the National Youth Administration under the ERA Act of 1935.
Expenditures
Expenditures by all agencies from both appropriations during July amounted to
$276,016,564, bringing the amount expended over the entire program through the end of
July to a total of 13,700,681,080, or 72 percent of the amount allocated. July expenditures were 8 percent leas than June and 14 percent less than the highest figure, reported
for April.
WPA expenditures to date exceed those of any other agency and are a ssuming an
increasingly larger proportion of the total expenditures by all agencies. Amounting to
$1,468,673,000 at the end of July, they represented 40 percent of the total, as oompared
with 38 percent at the end of June, 36 percent at the end of May, and 34 percent at the
end of April. However, July expenditures of the WPA, which amounted to Jl62,870,000,
were 4 percent less than June and 16 percent less than March, the peak month.
FERA has expended J930,668,000 to date, or 25 peroent of the total. These expenditures were made largely before the Works Program got fully under wayJ subsequent
expenditures have been relatively small, amounting in July to slightly less than
$1,000,000. Emergency Conservation Work had expended J668,729,000, or 15 percent of
total expenditures, by the end of July. The ER.A Act funds of this agency will soon be
entirely exhausted, and new funds for the fiscal year 1937, e.re provided by an appropriation of t308,000,000 not made under the ERA Act. Expenditures by agencies are shown in
the table on the preceding page.
Expenditures of ERA Act of.1936 funds amo 1 mted to $117,229,912, or 8 percent of
the total appropriation of $1,426,000,000. As is shown in Table 8 at the end of. this
report $116,172,000. or 99 percent of this a.mount, wa.s expended by the WPA. The balance
we.a spent by seven other major agencies, Resettlement with expenditures of $445,000 aocounting for the largest amount.
Unexpended Balances
Unexpended bale.noes of all agencies under both appropriations on July 31 amounted to $1,404,544,660, or 28 pa~osnt of total allocations. Bala.noes of the various agencies
are given in the table on the preceding page and are shown graphically in the accompanying chart. FERA had only one half of one percent of its allocations still unexpended,
CCC 6 percent, WPA 20 percent, and Resettlement 38 percent at the end of July. Much larger
proportions of the allocations to a number of other agencies are as yet unexpended. The
Rural Electrification Administration has a balance amounting to 89 percent of its allocations, and the Housing Division of fflA, the Bureau of Public Roads, and the Non-Federal
Division of PWA have balances representing 80 percent, 70 percent, and 62 percent of their
respeotive allocations.
STUDY OF REEMPLOYJIEHT OPPORTUNITIE.S .AND RECENT CHANGES IN INDUSTRIAL TECHNIQUES
a part of the research program of the Works Progress Administration the project on "Reemployment Opport\Dlities and Recent Changes in Induatrial Techniques" has been
undertaken to study the effects of recent changes in the techniques of production upon the
volume of employment and unemployment. The study haa advanced beyond the organization
stage, and the collection of data, 8.?18.lysia of previously assembled material, and field
surveys are now in progress.
As
Data concerning the physical volume of production and employment indicate that
during the period from 1920 to 1929 increased product-ion in manufaoturing industries, ooal
:mines, and agriculture was accompanied by decreases in employment, and that between 1929
and 1935 the output per man-hour in manufacturing industries has increased approximately
26 percent. The question of the relative potency of the forces making for displacement
and absorption of workers by industry is of immediate practical importance , pa.rticularly
to agencies charged with the task of either creating employment or oaring for the unemployed. Among members of the business community and of the labor community, as well aa
in the determination of governmental policies, questions arise as to the prospects for
reemployment of a substantial number of the unemployed, the group of workers moat likely
to remain unabsorbed, the extent to which the volume of employment has been affected by
technological improvements, and the miscellaneous social effects on such workers as are
displaced by changes in the techniques of production.
The approach being made to this study by the research project involves assembling such existing data as bear on these and related questions and augmenting these data
by syst-ematic surveys and analyses designed to meet the following objectives,
1.
2.
3•
A comprehensive statement of the economic role played by changes in techniques of production.
Measurement of the net effects on total employment of changes in production
techniques and the incidence of such changes with respect to employment in
various ilndustries, occupations, age groups, etc.
.Analysis of social problems arising out of changes in production technique ■,
together with an attempt to ascertain the extent to which present or iJlainent economic developments may be expected to relieve or accentuate these
problems, end the bases of and requisites for a remedial program.
The aocomplishment of these objectives involves primarily the determination of
the net displacement of man-hours of labor by improved production techniques, and the
economic and social effects of such changes. Recognition is made of the fact that while
"dispiaoemen:t" e.nd "absorption" can be studied in individual plants and industries, the
net effect of the two processes (technological employment or unemployment) oan be adequately measured only i n terms of the interrelated parts whi ch refl eot t he whole of the
national economy. The st udy i s being conducted along the following l ines of investigations

PLANT SURVEYS OF PRODUCTIVITY
In order to obtain a oomposite pioture of the effeots of ohante• in produotion
teohniques or other oonditions of operation on the volume of employment, produotivity
studies are being oonduoted in seleoted industries. Efforts are being made to determine
the trend of the volume of physioal output per unit of labor time and per unit of oapital
investment. In addition, a atudy is being made of the !actors whioh brought about th•••
ohanges and of the effect on the volume of employment that auoh changes have had in the
past and may have in the future.
The etudy of produotivity is being oonduoted along vertical rather than horizontal lines of industry, attempting to cover the produotion prooees from extraction of the
raw materials through fabrication to distribution to the ultimate oonsumer. Data in both
physioal and monetary units are being oolleoted in order that the economio effeot ■ of the
changes in industrial teohniques may be analyzed.
Produotivity studies, mostly in oooperation with other agenoies, are being oonduoted in manufaoturing, mining, oonstruotion, transportation, and agrioultural industries.
Beyond the primary consideration of oovering the basio industries - fuel• and metal• - the
criteria for selecting subjects of investigation area first, the extent to which the industry appears to present a typioal situation whioh, when examined, will indioate the manner in whioh adjustments are made in that general type of situation, auoh as expansion,
oontraction, and produotion of a oommodity of inelastic demandJ and, seoond, the praotioability in terms of easy access to industry, previous studies of the industry which furnish
opportunities for comparison wlth results of this survey, or certain technical feature•
which would facilitate analysis.
Kanufacturing Industries
The surveys covering samples of manufacturing industries consist of etudiea
made in cooperation with the National Bureau of Economic Research, and atudies made in
cooperation with the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The first group consists of a study, initiated under this cooperative arrangement,
of the machine-handling industry, and surveys of industries which the National Bureau of
Economic Researoh made a few years ago {inoluding briok, lumber, cement, beet sugar, and
flour milling). The present studies are more oomprehensive than those previously oonducted
by the Bureau in that information on capital equipnent and materials and on coats and
their distribution is collected in addition to data on man-hours and output.
The group of produotivity studies being oonduoted in cooperation with the Bureau of Labor Statistics oovers the boot and shoe, leather, textile, automobile, and iron
and steel industries.
Mining
In the study of the extraotive industries the Bureau of )lines is assisting in
the tabulation of information which it has already oollected. These data will be supplemented by field surveys whenever a more complete picture is necessary. The study inoludea
bituminous and anthraci•e ooal, petroleum and natural gas, nonmetals (exolusive of cement
and clay), iron ore, copper, zino, lead, and minor metals and nonmetals.

remaining States for which data 1'8re dei'iciant.
Tha-t the downward trend ill 1llle -t:.tal number of oaaee reoei ving general relief continued in llay an.cl Jee 1a indicated by prieliminary reports from urban area.a which represent

The pronounced upturn in private employment evidenced during this period was probably
instrumental in bringing about a reduotiou in relief rolls. Improved weather oondi tions al.so
permitted the removal tram the relief roll• of a number of tamilie• which had been reoeinnc

Based on Bureau of Census estimate of population as of jul.y l, 1935
Although a progressive reduction in Worb Program employment was inaugurated in
March, it had little effect on the net change trCIBI. Jlaroh to April in the number uf oases receiving relief• Between the middle of Jlaroh and the middle et April, the employment of more
than 300,000 relief persons under the Program waa terminated. Due to the improvement of
business conditions most of these worker• are able to obtain private employment upon release from Works Program jobs. Thia waa particularly true in many rural sections where a
substantial demand for farm labor was in evidence during April. Only in a few widely scattered areas were the persons released from Works Program jobs UDa.ble to find private employment and returned to the relief rolls.
During the month of February public e.id in the fonn of old-age assistance, aid to
the blind, and aid to dependent children under the provisions of the Federal Sooial Seouri ty Aot was inaugurated in many States. The expansion of these forms of assistanoe in some
States and their extension to additional States during Ma.rob and April contributed to the
reported deoline in the number of oases receiving general relief.
y
Because of insufficient funds, many agencies restricted the granting of relief to
the most destitute families, while others stopped extending relief or limited their operations to the distribution of Federal surplus commodities or collDJlodities produced under Works
Program projects.
'l:J
Local poor relief authorities became practically the sole dispensers of general
relief in a few additional States during April. In many instances these authorities were unprepared to cope adequately with the emergency created by the ourtailment or withdrawal of
organized State relief.
The general relief data presented for months beginning with January 1936 have for
the most part a somewhat broader coverage than the data relating to the emergency relief program published for months prior to January 1936. Throughout the duration of the emergenoy
relief program an unknown amount of outdoor relief, other than categorical aid and institutional care extended from local funds in accordance with the provisions of the poor laws,
was not included in the reports received by the FER.A. Before the discontinuation of grants
of FERA funds the volume of this unreported aid was very small as compared with the totals
which were reported. However, in recent months much of the relief given in some areas has
been administered by looal agencie s which were never associated with the emergency relief
program. The figures issued for months beginning with January 1936 are not limited to the
rapidly diminishing activities conducted under the emergency relief program but are intended to include all general public relief exclusive of categorical aid and institution ca.re.
The objective of complete coverage of all general relief as defined above has not
been fully attained, since it is known that data for a few of the States listed together in
Table 13 on page 84 do not completely cover all general relief extended from looal public
funds. Available evidence indicates that the extent of this deficiency is relatively small,
hence the data for all of these States are tentatively regarded as being reasonably complete.
Additional infornl8.tion recently obtained reveals that in California, Iowa, and
Montana the amount of unreported general relief was considerably larger than it was believed to be at the time of publication of data for the first three months of 1936. Although the data which have been received are incomplete, t~ey are sufficiently comprehensive to permit adjustments in the estimated totals for the Continental United States for
]/ The relief data presented in this report do not include public assistanoe extended by
State welfare organi~ations under the provisions of the Federal Social Security Act for
old age assistance, aid to dependent children, and aid to the blind, or public assistance
of these types which was extended under special State and county statutes.

January, February, and March. Revised estimates for January, February, and. llaroh of the
number of families and single persons receiving relief, the proporti@n of the United States
population receiving relief, and the amount of relief extended to these oases are shown in
the table on page 18. In addition, the accompanying table presents revised estimates of
the total amount of obligations incurred for the general relief' program and of the proportion of the total costs of the relief program borne by Federal, State, and local governments. All of these estimates are subject to revision.
While contributions of State funds declined between January and April 1936, the
average amount contributed by the States during the first four months of 1936 was considerably greater than the amount of State funds made available for the emergency relief program in any previous month. The increases are largely attributable to emergency appropriations made by a few of the larger States after the discontinuation of FERA grants.
Average amounts of local funds contributed during the first four months of 1936
were somewhat less than the average amount contributed for all purposes of the emergency relief program during the period 1953 through 1935. Hmrever, a considerable portion of the looal contributions during the earlier period took the form of materials and non-relief wages
used in oonnection with the emergency work relief program. Durine recent months local contributions of this type have been made to Works Program projects. Amounts contributed by
local govermnents for relief extended to oases during the first four months of 1936 were
in fact somewhat greater than amounts contributed for relief extended to cases under the
emergency relief program during previous months.

Variations in the prevailing hourly r ate in dif ferent seotiona of t he oountry
are partly respons ible for deviations from the general average of hourly 1"Lges paid to
workers on various types of 1'PA projects. The amount earned per hour is also affected by
the faot that more skilled, professional, and supervi s ory workers are required en some types
of projects than on others. On six major t ypes of proj ect s involving about 43 percent of
the total hours worked or credited, the average hourly rates were i n excess of the average
for all types (46.9 cents). Eduoational, professi onal, and olerical projects i aid wages
which averaged 61.9 cents per hour, recreational faoility projects paid an average of 63.S
cents per hour, and for work on public buildings an hourly average of 66.6 cents was paid.
These three groups accounted for approximately 31 percent of the total hours for lfhioh
payment was made. While workers employed on pr ojaots f or the distribution of surplus oommodities earned, on the average, 50.5 oents per hour and airport project employees averaged 48 .8 cents, the hours of employment provided by these projeots nre small oompa.red with
the total. Persons employed on sewer systems and other publio utility projects accounted
for 8.6 percent of the total hours of employment and earnt"'1 an average of 47.9 cents per
hour.

Average hourly earnings for all types of projects showed an increase in July of 1.2
cents over the corres ponding June figure. Although some increase in the average hourly rata
occurred on all major types of projects, those showing the most conspicuous gains - work camps,
with an increment of 5.0 cents, and distribution of surplus commodity projects , with an increment of 3 . 1 cents - were relatively unimportant from the point of view of provi ding employment. The increase for all others varied between 0 , 6 and 1.8 cents. Comparisons or the proportions of total hours worked or credited on specific types of projects during the first half
of July with the first half of June indicate that no variati ons of as much as OM percent occurred.

EMPLOYMENT IN WPA WORK CAMPS
March 1936
Early in 1933 the Federal Emergency Relief Adminis tration established a system
of work camps and shelters for transients. Special FERA gr ants for these oamps were discontinued in September 1935 with the understanding that t he residents of the oamps were to
be assigned to WPA projects.
In liquidat i ng the FERA work oamps transient direotora followed three courses ot
action: returning t o their home s unemployable persons who had l egal settlement; transferring to the rolls of looal relief offices the unattached women and family oases that could
not be r eturned t o any place of legal settl-ementJ and certifying the
employable unattached men for WPA
jobs. Thi s action, together with
voluntary separations from the program, !"esulted in a decline in the
transient work camp population fr0111
92,223 unattached persons and 27,312
f amily oases on September 16, 1935,
t o 64,194 unattached persons and
19,862 family oases on October 16,
1936. The latter tot&ls show an
even JDOre marked reduction from the
peak figures of March 1936 when
168,363 unattached persons and
14~,107 persons in 40,269 families
were reoeiving aid in the shelters
and camps. Considerable local opposition developed to assigning transients to locally sponsored projects.
MESS LINE AT A WORK CAMP
Therefore, in order to care for these
persons, approval was obtained to
operate approximately 360 transient work camps and 60 ab!LD.doned CCC camps with facilities
for about 100,000 men. Under administ r ative order, ,rages f or the men assigned to these
camps were made uniform throughout the country and set at $15, $20, and $25 per month for
unskilled, intermedi ate, and skilled work, respectively. Subsistence was provided for the
workers in camps in addition t o the specified wages. The wage rates were later modified
in a single instance, providing for work camps in New Yor k City a aohedule of $30, $35, and
$40 for the respective olassifioations of skill.
With new intake of transients discontinued in September 1935, the number of
persons assigned t o work oamps decreased rapidly until in Karoh 1936 a total of approximately 40,000 persons (including supervisory employees) were employed in the camps. By
the middle of July employment had dropped to about half of the March total. Detailed data
covering these persons were secured from a tabulation of the individual employment record
cards for all persons employed in work camps, as shown by payrolls ending during the month
of March,
Total Employment in WPA Work Camps
During March approximately 190 work camps were in operation in 41 States. The
em, loyment provided at these camps is shown by St ates in the tab le on page 81. In some
instanoes, the State totals reflect the praotioe of sending trans i ent persons from one
State to camps i n nearby States as has been done at Fort Eustis, a r egional camp in Virginia, whioh accommodates transient persons from the District ot Columbia and nearby
States, notably North Carolina.. California. had the largest work oa.mp population, with about 6,600 persons employed in Maroh. Camps in Virginia. had more tha.n 4,000 oooupa.nt s,
a.nd three other States - Illinois, Minnesota., a.nd New York (exoluding New York City) eaoh had more than 2,000 work ca.mp employees. These five States together aooounted for approximately 45 percent of a.11 persons in WPA work camps.
Most of the persons employed in WPA work ca.mps (91.6 peroent of the tota.l) nre
assigned a.t the standard work oa.mp rates. In addition to the 36,569 workers paid at these
rates, 1,441 were employed at full security wage rates and 1,905 were non-security wage
workers. These last two

Data on previous relief status of 1,022 work camp employees in
New York City are not available.
Persons from
t he reli ef rolls were employed at work camps in about the same proportion a.son regular WPA
pro j ects . As indicated in the accompanying tabulation, only 5 peroent of all work oa.mp employees were seoured from souroes other than relief rolls. Practically all the workers
assi gned a.t work oamp ra.tes and a.bout three-quarters of the persons assigned at full security wages were ta.ken from relief rolls. Less tha.n a fifth of the non-seourity workers,
however, came from relief souroes. These data exclude persons employed in work camps in
Hew Yo_·k City where information on the previous relief status of workers is not available.
Employment by Types of Projects
Outstanding among the types of projects engaging work ca.mp e~ployees 1V8re conservation wo r k a.nd public building projects. Ea.oh of these types employed about 22 peroent
of t he tot a l work camp population. Other types of projects 1Vhioh employed more tha.n 10
peroent of the total were highways, roads, a.nd streets, and recreational facilities.
The tabulation (on the following page) of work camp employment by types of projects also s hows the numbers of persons assigned at work camp rates in each of the three
wage ola.sse s to which these rates apply - unskilled, intermediate, a.nd skilled. Workers
in the unskilled class represented almost 72 percent of all work ca.mp employees while
those in the intermediate and skilled classes ea.oh represented roughly 10 percent of the
total . In addition, 3.6 pe~cent of the total were non-resident workers receiving full
secur i ty wages while 4.8 percent were non-security wage workers. Some of the lastmentioned group were resident in the camps and received subsistence in addition to cash
wage payments .
The distribution of persons employed on work camp projects by wage classes was
fairly uniform among the more important types of projects. On conservation projects about
71 percent of the workers were in the unskilled wage class, but slightly less than the average proporti ons were assigned in the intermediate a.nd skilled classes. Since conservation
projects employed half the persons who were working at full security wage rates and neerly

Almost four-fifths ( 78 percent) of all persoJl.8 in work cam.pa were
employed at U118killed work as indicated
in the table on the following page.
This figure is only slightly
largerthan the proportion ot unskilled workers on regular WPA projects. A much

PERCEN'UGE DISTRIBUTION OF PERSONS ll.!PWYED
Average Monthly Wage Rates and Earnings
Owing to the fact that uniform wage rates are speoified for persons in work oamps
throughout the country (except in New York City to which a modified schedule applies), little
variation occurs in the average wage rates for the various States. Such variation as does
exist is due entirely to the different proportions of workers assigned in the intermediate and
skilled wage olasses a.nd paid at the higher rates prevailing for these groups. For work oamp
employees throughout the oountry the average wa~e rate in Ma.roh was $17.08. Averages of individual States, as shown in the table on page 83, ranged only from $15.00 for Michigan where
all the work camp employees were assigned at the unskilled rate, to $19.06 for Kentucky where
an unusually large proportion - more than a third of the workers - were in the intermediate
or skilled wage ol~sses. This oomparison does not inolude work camps in Hew York City where
a higher wage schedule ($30, $35, and $40, respectively, for unskilled, intermediate,and
skilled workers) was in effect. There the monthly wage rate averaged $32.12.
Average earnings of work camp employees amounted to $16.58 in Maroh, or a.bout 91
percent of the average wage rate. This ratio is somewhat higher than that applying to workers on regular WPA projects, indicating a relatively greater stability of employment on work
camp projects than on regular WPA projeots during the month. While most of the States showed
similarly high ratios, in a few in.stances wide departures from the average were found. Six
States reported earnings which represented notably small proportions of the wage rates. The
low earnings in Ohio, Mississippi, Louisiana., and Texas were due to the fact that camps in
these States 'W8re in operation during only part of the monthJ in the first three States, the
camps did not open until the middle of the month, while in Texas they were olosed on March 13.
Work camp employees in Florida were transferred to the Florida Ship Canal project during the
month, and a number of camp workers in North Carolina were transferred to Fort Eustis, in
Virginia, during the month. J.t the other extreme was Nevada with average earnings in excess
of wage rates, as a result of the transfer of workers from regular WPJ. projects to -work camps
early in the month. Sinoe their classification was determined by the last payroll ending in
llarch on -.hich their names appeared, they were reported among work camp employees. Their

total monthly earnings, therefore, included amounts earned earlier in the month on WPA projects
at the regular aecuri ty wage rates and thus tended to raise the average earnings for work en.mp
employees. This factor also operated to some extent in other States.
Kore detailed data concerning the actual earnings of persons employed in work camps at
the standard rates are given in the tabulation above. The distribution according to actual
earnings ia shown separately for workers assigned at $15, $20, a.nd $25 per month (the unskilled,
intermediate, and skilled wage classes) throughout the country and for workers in camps in New
York City where rates of $30, $36, and $40 were in effect. More than 70 percent of the workers
in each wage class earned approximately their full assigned wage rate. The remainder represents workers who entered the camps late in the month or who left before the end of the month,
consequently being unable to earn a full month's wages. On the other hand in some States, inoluding Minnesota and Nevada, workers were transferred from regular WPA projects during the
month with the result that their total monthly earnings, as mentioned in a preceding paragraph,
were considerably above the wage rates at which they were employed in the work oamps. These
factors offset each other to some extent in their influenoe on the average earnings for all
work oamp employees.
Almost two-thirds of all work camp employees assigned a.t the standard 1rork oe.mp rates,
or more than 23,000 persons, ea.med between $10 and $20 in March. Nearly 16,000 of these workers reoeived between $15.00 and $17.60. About 17 poroent of a.111rork osmp employees earned
less than $10 a.nd an almost identical proportion earned between $20 and t30. Monthly earnings
in excess of $30 were reported for only a little more than one peroent of the total workers.
It should be kept in mind, however, that persons assigned at work oa.mp rates received subsistence, including medical and dental care,in addition to their wages.
ANALYSIS OF EMPLOYMENT AND EARNINGS ON PROJECTS OF
THE NON-FEDERAL DIVISION OF THE PUBLIC WORKS ADMINISTRATIOW
llaroh 19:56
Under authority granted by the National Industrial Reoovery Aot and oontinued by
the Emergenoy Relief Appropriation Act of 1935, the Publio Works Administration assists in
finanoing construotion projects of States. oounties, and other politioal subdivisions. Up
to 45 peroent of the total estimated cost of non-Federal projects i1 finanoed by direot
grants of PWA. funds (from the ERA Act of 1935) while the remainder is provided in part
through loans of PWA revolving funds available under prior appropriations, and in part dirsotly by the looal bodies sponsoring the projeots. Data presented in the following disoussion oover only suoh projeots as are financed by funds made available under the ERA Aot
of 1935. While aotual oonstruotion on these projects is under the jurisdiotion of the local
bodies. the rules and regulations established for the Works Program, with certain modifioations. are in effect. Non-Federal projects arA operated for the most part on a contraot
basis and preference in employmen t is given to persons from the relief rolls.
The data oovering empioyment on non-Federal PWA projeots presented in these
pages was seoured from an analys i s of Ms.rob payrolls for these projeots. Sinoe the total
employment figures ccver all persons whose names appeared on any PWA. non-Federal projeot
payrolls ending during the month, they are oonsiderably higher than any of the weekly employment totals previously published, 11hioh represent only the number 1WOrking during the
1n9ek oovered. Substantial differences between the number employed in any week and the total number who worked at any time during the month a.re to be expeoted in llaroh. when employment on PW.A non-Federal projects expanded from about 40,000 at the beginning to more than
74,000 at the end of the month.
&nployment on PWA Non-Federal Projeots
The analysis indioates that 98 1 440 different persons were working on PWA non-Fed•
eral projeots during Maroh. More than a,ooo persons were working in Texas and more than
6 1 000 in California and in Illinois. These three States together aocounted for 22 per'Oent
of the total employment on PWA non-Federal projects. Three other States - Ohio, Georgia,
and North Carolina - eaoh had between 4,000 and 5 1 000 persons employed on these projeots.
The remaining two-thirds of the non-Federal project employees were distributed among 41
States and New York City in numbers ranging from less than 100 workers in Nevada, Vermont, and Wyoming to more than 3,000 in Massachusetts and Tennessee. Ho non-Federal
projects ~re operating in the Distriot of Columbia or in Lo-uisiana.
More than two-thirds of the 98 1 000 persons employed under the Non-Federal Division of PW'Awere working on publio building projeots, most of which were for sohool build•
ings. Projeots involving the oonstruotion or improvement of sewer systems and other publicly owned or operated utilities employed about 25 peroent of the total workers. Highway,
road, and street projeots aooounted for less than 6 peroent of the workers while the remaining 2,000 persons were employed on projeots involving reoreationa.1 facilitie1, airports
and other transportation, or flood control and other oonservation work.
A marked emphasis on publio building projeots is found in a number of States. In
Montana, Nevada, and Wyoming all Pll'A. non-Federal employment. and in four other States•
Indiana, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and South Dakota - more than 90 peroent of the total,
was provided on projects of this type. Only seven States and New York City showed less than
half their total PWA workers employed on publio building projects. In five of these States
and New York City, projeots involving sewer systems and other utilities provided the bulk
of the employment, while in the other two, highway, road, and street projeots were
ing. These data are presented in detail in the table on page 86.

Occupations of Workers on PWA Non-Federal Projects
The emphasis on public building projects under the Pff'A non-Federal program is alao
evident :fl-om the olassification of workers according to their assigned ocoupationa, presented on page 87. Almost 41 percent of the 98.000 pereona eployed on PlfJ. projeots 1'9re skilled or sniskilled workers in building and construction. ,Another 4 peroent wre supervisor•
or foremen on projeots of this type. In addition a large majority of the unakilled worker•
who made up 45 percent of the total employment wre engaged on building projects. The oenoentration was even more marked among workers ooming from sources other than the relief'
rolls. Kore than half of these persons were 1killed or semiskilled workers in building and
oonstruotion work.
Persona from relief rolls employed on PWA Non-Federal projects numbered more than
34,000, constituting more than a third of the total employment. About 73 peroent of the
persons from relief rolls ware working at unskilled jobs, as compared with leas than 10 per•
cent of the workers secured from other than relief sources.

Average Monthly Earnings
Persons employed on PlfA non-Federal projeots throughout the United Ste.tea ea.med
an average of $51.06 during March. Earnings or these workers, who were paid prevailing
wages, were about 11 percent higher than the average for workers on WPA projects paid aocording to the rates specified in the established monthly earnings sohedule. In this connection it should be noted that the rapid increase in PWA employment which occurred during
Karch resulted in many workers earning less than a f'ull month's pay during the period.
Therefore, aver~ge earnings for the month probably understate to a conaiderable extent the
average amount received by workers who were employed during the whole month. For PWA
workers not taken from the relief rolls the average earning• were $58.39 or about 57 percent more than the average amount received by persons from relief sources - $37.29. The
difference is due chiefly to the tact that a muoh larger proportion of the non-relief persons were engaged at skilled jobs for which higher wages were paid.
The variation among the States,both on the basis of average earnings and of the
relationship between the earnings of persons from relief rolls and those secured from

The aooompa.nying tabulation is indicative of the extent to which the expansion
of employment on PWA non-Federal projects influenced the average earnings figure for all
persons employed on them in Karch. In contrast with the average earnings of $51.06 for
all persons employed, the earnings of individual workers ranged from less than $6.00 for
persons newly assigned and employed for only
a few days to several hundred dollars for
highly skilled workers such as technical en•
gineers and projeot supervisors working
throughout the month. More than a third
(36.3 percent) of all PWA workers earned less

THE WORKS PROGRAM ACTIVITiiS OF THE BUREAU OF
ENTOMOLOGY A.ND PLANT QUARANTINE
The activities of the Bureau of Ent omology and Plant Quarantine include t he stud7
of insect pests and plant diseases, the development and appli cation of methods for their
eradi cation and control; a.nd the prosecution, in cooperation with public and pri vate agencies, of the work necessary to control or eradicate these pests and diseases. The Bureau's
contro l and eradication campaigns cover species of insects and plants injurious t o trees as
well a s to farm and garden plants. It is in connection particularly with control and eradication work and with the making of ·surveys that ~e Bureau has been able to extend its regular work through sponsorship of Works Program projects which provide jobs for employable
persons in need of relief.
To expand its regular activities during the fiscal year 1936, allocations amounting to $13,770,098 were made available to the Bureau from f'unds appropriated by the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1936. These allocations allowed the Bureau sufficient
funds to expand 12 of its regALLOCATIONS FOR THE PROGRAMS OF THE

Disea.se Control
Through the disease control projects of the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, work is carried on to control Dutch elm, white pino blister rust, oitrus canker,
phony pee.oh, pea.oh mosaic, and black stem rust diaeues •
In carrying out the projects for oontrol of diseaGes affecting trees (the black
stem rust work is the only project not falling in this olass), operations generally include three stages, First, examination of elm, pine, citrus, or peach trees in an effort
to locate diseased specimens, followed by diagnosis of selected specimens in the Service
Laboratory; second, removal of infected trees after discovery; and third, removal of dead
or dying trees that are readily susceptible to disease growths and , in the case of white
pine blister rust, removal of bushes upon which the disease fungus a lternately grows.

Dutoh elm disease work is being carried out in an attempt completely to exterminate a fatal disease of elm trees which became established in this country several
years ago. The disease spreads with alarming rapidity and has wiped out Jll8.IlY excellent
stands of elms in wes t ern Europe during the past 20 yea.rs. For controling the spread
of the Dutoh elm disease i t is necessary to locate and eradicate trees already infected,
and to deatroy dead and dyin g trees which might serve as hosts for the bark beetle which
carries t he disease. The major work area of this project is withi n 60
Dutch Elm
miles of New York City, while outlying areas range from 'Mas sachusett~ to
Disease
as far west as Kansas. Through the use of emergency funds encouraging
progress has been made t oward accomplishing the total eradication of this tree disease
from the United States . Approrlmately 8,000,000 elm trees were inepeoted up to Jw:u, S8,
1936, O'T9r 6,700 diseased and 843,000 dead and dying trees wre removed, and 366,000
wre tagged awaiting removal. Cc,ntributing to thia aooompliahment ha.a been t he work of
men in six CCC oampa who w re assigned to Dutch elm diseue work in the fall of 1936.
The white pi ne b lister rust is a fatal disease attacking several of America's
most valuable species of pine . If uncontroled, it would largely wipe out the whi te
pines as chestnut blight has eliminated the chestnuts. The di sease is

currant or gooseberry bushes. Control of the disease is ef fec ted by
eradication of the bushe s in the immediate vicinity of pine trees. Control operations
have been greatly expanded and allotments from emergency relief appropriation acts
have made possible the carrying out of control measures in white pine fore sts of great
value in 28 States. Under the Works Program, nearly 109,ooo.ooo bushes have been eradicated on some 2,2 76 , 000 acres of white pine le.ndsJ about 37,000 white pinee have been
treated to eliminate rust infeotionJ 60,000 fatally infected pines have been destroyed,

ACTIVITIES OF THE RURAL ELECTRIFICATION ADMINISTRATION
The Emergenoy Relief Appropriation
Act of 1936, apprQved Ap~il 8, 1935, prov14ed
that funds not in excess of t100,ooo,ooo •shall
be available for rural electrification.• In
accord with the provisions of this act an Executive order dated Vay 11, 1936, established
the Rural Eleotrifioation Administration to
"initiate, formulate, administer, and supervise
a program of approved projects with respeot to
the generation, transmission, and distribu➔~ion
of electric energy in rural areas.• The Administration's objectivw. is to make possible
the wider use of electricity in rural areas ot
the United States. Only about 11 percent of
the farms in these areas are now served with
central station power.
REA ALWCATIONS OF $14,960,728
TO PROVIDE 13,588 MILES OF ELECTRIC LINES
TO SERVE 62,629 CUSTOMERS IN 28 STATES
kn,ong the benefits anticipated from
the REA program are improvements in standards
of farm living arising from use of eleotric
lighting devices, electrically powered water
supply systems, and other electrical equipment.
In addition, it is anticipated that the more
extended use of electrical farm equipment will
increase the productive capacity of farms. By
enlarging the field of potential purchases, it
is also expected that a stimulus will be given
to the development of new types of electrical
machinery for the farm and to more economical
production of electrical farm supplies of tll
kinds.
As a step in achieving its objectives, the Administration has endeavored to acquaint the farm population with the advantages of having electricity available. Also, it
has advised interested local farm and business groups regarding the construction of rural
electric transmission and distribution lines and systems.
The Administration makes no grants, but loans are available to private corporations, oooperative associations, or to State or local public bodies, for transmission and
clistribution systems, and to private individuals for the wiring of rural premises. Loans
are offered up to the entire cost of proposed projects on a 2O-year basis with interest at
3 percent.
When applications for loans are received, the proposed projects are examined to
determine their economic feasibility and self-liquidating character, and studies are made
to see if the proposed consumers are to receive adequate service at reasonable rates. When
findings are favorable upon preliminary analysis, the Administration applies for an allocation from the funds provided in the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1936. Upon reoeipt of the allocation it proceeds with negotiations for a loan contract with the private
corporation, the cooperative, or the public agency that is the borrower.
After the loan contract has been •atisfactoril7 executed, the Administration approves wage rates that are in accordance with local condition.a, and hours of work that must

EJtcludes $1,650,680 rescinded on Presidential Letter No. 1795, dated July 27, 1936, but not yet approved by the Comptroller General. This
letter rescinds specific iroJects in the follo,r.ing States:• Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota,

entered into by the borrower. It retains the authority of inspection and approval on the
project whether prosecuted by the borrower or by contract.
Through July 31, 1936, net allocations for the construction of 90 rural electric
distribution line projects in 28 States amounted to $14,960,728. In addition to this amount allocations totaling $179,000 had been made for the purpose of financing the wiring
of customers' premises. The distribution line projects will provide 13,688 miles of line
and will serve 52,629 customers.
From these total allocations loan contracts for distribution line construction
have been executed in the amount of $10,441,728, and one loan contract of $30,000 has been
executed in the State of Ohio for financing the wiring of customers' premises. 111e 67 proj•
ects on which loan contracts have been executed will provide about 9,360 miles of line and
will serve 36,076 customers who have not previously been provided with central station power.
Eighteen projects, involving total allocations of $3,793,692 were under construction on July 31. These projects will provide 3,448 miles of line and will serve about 16,400
customers. As of the same date work had been sufficiently completed to energize, in whole
or in part, lines on 16 projects involving allocations of $1,734,664 and providing a total
mileage of 1,614 miles designed to serve 10,471 customers.
Detailed data by States, showing the volume of activities of the Rural Electrification Administration on July 31, are presented in the accompanying table.
On May ~O, 1936, the President approved the Rural Electrification Act of 1936
which made the REA a perm.anent organization. The act authorizes appropriations aggregating $410,000,000 over a 10-year period beginning July 1, 1936. Under this act, moneys
to be loaned by the Rural tlectrification Administration during the fiscal year ending June
30, 1937, will be made available by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation in an amount not
to exceed $60,000,000. As in the case of funds secured from the ERA Act of 1935, these
loans will be returnable. They will draw an interest rate of slightly less than 3 percent.
Projects for which allocations from 1935 ERA Act f urds have been made will be completed
with those funds, while funds secured from the Re c~nst ruction Finance Corporation will be
utilized for all allocations in this fiscal ye ar .

ANALYSIS OF EMPLOYMENT ON WORK PROJECTS OF THE
NATIONAL YOUTH ADMINISTRATION
March 1936
An outstanding a.ctivity of the National Youth Adminiatra.ti on, aeoond i n importance only to the Student Aid Program, is the provision of employment for young person.a
between 16 a.nd 25 yea.rs or age who have no other source of i ncome, a.nd a.re not in regular

During the months before the NYA work program got under way an a r rangement was
ma.de under which some young persons were employed on regular WP.A. pr oject s a.t the NYA schedule
of earnings and hours of work. During the first three months of 1936 approximately 10,000
youths were employed on this basis. By June , ho,rever, all but a.bout 1,000 of them had been
abs orbed by the expanding work projects of the NYA.
De.ta secured from an unduplicated count of all persons empl oyed on NY.A work projects during the month of 'March a.re presented in the following pa ges . It should be noted
that small numbers of persons having full-time employment on NY.A pro jects in auperviaoey and
skilled capa.ci ties and pa.id at other tha.n NY.A. wage rates are i ncluded in the accompa.eying
tabulations only when speoifica.lly indioa.ted. None of the data inolude activities under
the Student A.id Program or youths employed on WP.A. projeots .
NYA Employment
The NYA program of work projects for youths not in aohool got under way samewhat
later than its Student A.id Program. 'Marked expansion at the end of February a.nd early March,
however, brought the total number of persons employed on NYA projeota duri ng Maroh to almost
163,000. About three-fifths of these 119re working on projects in Regi.on I, another fifth
were in Region III, and the remainder were divided between Region.a II and IV, the majority
being in the latter group. The number of youths working on NYA projects in each State are
shown in Table 17 a.t the end of this report. Particularly luge NYA programs wre in operation in the States of Pennsylvania a.nd Texas, employing approximately 20, 000 and 10,000
youths respectively. Michigan, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Kentucky ea.oh empl oyed more than 7,000
young persons on NYAwork projects.
Young women represented more thall S9 percent of the total persona employed on NY!
projects, while on regular WPA projects women represented only 16 percent of the total.

In Wage Region II about 26 peroent

Among the individual statea
Mississippi showed the largest proportion of women workers, 71 peroent of the total NYA employment in the State. In the Distriot of Columbia and Alabama more than 60 percent of the
workers were women, while in Virginia, Georgia, and South Carolina women represented more
than half the employed persons. At the other extreme was West Virginia where only 16 percent
of the NYA workers were women. In three other instances - Vermont, Kansas, and the 36 Texa.1
ootmties located in Wage Region II - women represented less than 30 percent of NYA employment.
On NYA projects the requirement that at least 90 percent of the workers must
be taken from the relief rolls was fo1101f8d rigidly. Only 2 percent of the persons employed throughout the country as a whole ~re taken from other than relief sources. There was
little variation in this respect among the four wa~ regions, the proportions ranging from
2.2 percent in War::;e Region r to 1.2 percen.t in Region III. In 6 States all workers on
NYA projects came from families on the relief rolls, and in 10 other States less than half
of one percent had been ta.ken from sources other than relief rolls. In only 7 States were
more than 5 percent of the youths ta.ken from other than relief sources. the large st proportion being almost 8 percent in Washington. These data are shown in detail in the table
on page 90.
Types of NYA Work Projects
Allocations of funds to the NYA for it~ work projects were made specifically
for four types of projects: community development and recreationa._1 leadership, rural
youth development, public service training, and research projects. Projects of the first
type ~nvolve the organizat i on and conduct of community activities in playgrounds, ~arks,
camps, gytnnasiums,and other community centers. Also included are projects to extend knowledge of health, sanitation and domestic science practices to groups not reached through
local govermnenta.1 services, as well as projects to d&velop local arts and crafts and
other manual activities. On rural youth development projects young persons in rural communities a.re assisting in reforestation and in State experimental fa.rm work, improving
school grounds and public buildin~s, maintaining and enlarging rurel library services, and
lea.ding recreational and other community activities. Work on activities outside the normal scope of local governmental agencies, such as traffic checks and control and investigation of local and State governmental records, occupies young persons on public service
projects. Persons working on research projects are engaged in studies of local his-torical
and tax records, in biological and agricultural experiments, and similar types of research.
Employment on these four types of projects is shown in the tabulation on the following page. The figures presented in this table include 4,726 full-ti~e workers employed
at other than NYA wage rates and working largely in supervisory capacities or on jobs requiring more skill and training tha.~ wa.s available amon~ the younger workers. More than

107,000 persons or almost two-thirds of all workers on NYA projects were employect on projects for community development and recreational leadership. Projeots for rural youth development employed in excess of 37,000 persons or 22 percent of the total while public service training work occupied about half as many per~ons. The remaining 3,500 NYA workers
were engaged in research work.
Most of the young persons employed on NYA projects nre assigned at the intermediate
and unskilled wage rates on jobs requiring little or no previous training and experienoe. The
unskilled wage class oonstituted approximately 59 peroent and the intermediate class almost 31
peroent of all NYA workers. Persons assigned at the skilled rates numbered slightly.mere than
12,000 and represented only 7 percent of the NYA project workers, while those classified as
professional and technical workers ma.de up not qui~ one percent of the total. The remaining
2 percent (3,144 persons) were assigned at other than security wage rates. In addition to
these non-security wage workers, 1,582 persons were employed
full-time at regular security wage rates and are included in
the wage class tabulation of NYA workers.
Thia makes a total
of 4,726 full-time workers employed on NYA projects at other
than NYA rates.
Rural youth development projects showed a marked
concentration of workers in the unskilled wage olass, in contrast to the public service training and the research projects
on which relatively large proportions of the workers were
classified as skilled or professional and technical. Almost
10 percent of the NYA workers on public service training projects were assigned at skilled rates, about one percent at
professional and technical rates, and more than 50 percent at
intermediate wage rates.
On research projects the proportion
of workers in the more highly paid wage classes we.seven

smaller proportion of NY.A workers found
in Region I where the highest schedule
of rates applies. Only 60 percent of
the NYA workers were employed in this region in comparison with more than 70 percent of the
workers on rog:ular WPA projects.
Average monthly wage rates of youths employed on NYA projects for the various
States., as shown in the table on page 91. ranged- from $22.92 in Massachusetts and $21.99 itl
Ohio to $8.06 in Georgia and $8.20 in that part of Kentucky which lies outside the sections
contiguous to Cincinnati where a higher wage scale applies. In California., Connecticut.
New Jersey, New York City, Pennsylvania, and the sections of Kentucky adjacent to Cincinnati wage rates for young persons also averaged more than $20 in March.
A marked expansion of the NYA program occurred in many States during March. A
large proportion of the young workers, therefore, were assigned after the beginning of
the month and had an opportunity to earn only part of a normal month's wages. As a result, earnings of young persons employed on NYA projects during Maroh averaged only $11.72,
or a little more than 73 percent of the assigned wage rate. The table on page 91 indicates considerable variation among the States in this respect. A particularly wide ~e.nge
of ratios of earnings to wage rates is observed in Wage Region I. In eight States or administrative areas of this region, notably Indiana, Wyoming, and New York City, the average
earnings of NYA wage workers exceeded 90 percent of the average monthly wage rate. On the
other hand, in Pennsylvania where a large NYA work program was being built up during Maroh,
NYA workers earned less than half the average assigned wage rate. New Jersey was the only
other State in Wage Region I where average earnings amounted to less than 60 peroent of
the average wage rate on NYA projeots in Maroh.

NYA. projects at other than NY.A. ,rage rates.
Wage rates for young persons on NY.A. projects a.re one-third the regular 1eouri ty wage rates .
Only slight differenoes between the wage rates a.t whioh men a.nd women were assigned to NYA work projeots are apparent. The average for men throughout the oountry as
a whole exoeeded the average for women workers by 28 oenta ($16.09 as oompared with $15.81
for the month). For all wage regions and most States, however, the average wage rate for
women was higher than that for men, although in most instanoes the differences amounted
to only a few oents. Though less marked, this situation is· similar to that observed in
oonneotion with the relationship between the wage rates for men and women on WPA projeots,
ind is due to the tendenoy to assign women in the higher -wage olasses at jobs requiring
some skill or training. The fact that the average 1r9..ge rate of Yomen for the country u
a whole was lower than that for men (despite the slightly higher average for women in
most States) is a result of the greater concentration of male workers in the States of
Wage Region I where the highest schedule of earnings applies.
When average monthly earnings of men and women workers on NY.l projects are oompared it is found that not only in all wage regions and most States, but also for the
country as a whole. the average earnings of women were higher tha.n those of men. The
difference between the United States averages, however, a.mounted to only 11 cents,or less
than one peroent. The faot that in most States and in all wage regions except Region II
women were able to earn a larger proportion of their full assigned wage rate acoounts for
this apparent disorepancy.
JIEW ORDERS AND NCYI' ICES
Finance Procedure for NYA Program
To avoid establishing duplicate staffs in the various States to take care of the
operating requirements of both the ll'PA and the NYA, the State Works Progress Administration
and its various subdivisions are charged with the responsibility Qf handling such matters
for t he NYA and of granting to the various phases of the NY.A Program the same attention as
is given to WPA projects in the State. In this oonneotion, State Administrators were advised in Handbook of Procedures Letter No. 19, iesued .August 12, 1936, that the NYA Program
for the coming year would consist of two divisionsa (1) lfork Projeqts for the Employment
of Youths , and (2) Student A.id.
Funds have been allocated for each of these two activities on the basis of natiomride pr ojects broken down into work units subject to approval by the State Youth Director. In the case of the NYA Work Program these work units, a:f'ter approval by the State
Youth Direct or, are handled by the WPA, so far as financial procedure is concerned, much
the same as WPA work projects.
In the case of Student Aid, work units for each class of student Aid in the State
are established by the State Youth Director on the basis of affidavits submitted by the
var i ous inst i tutions in which aid is to be given. Thereafter, the financial procedure is
similar t o that prescribed for WPA work projects.
Procedure f or Assigning Workers to Projects Financed by the Emergency Relief Appropriation
Act of 1936
The pr ocedure for assigning persons to either WPA or Federal projects financed
by the ERA Act of 1936 is outlined in Handbook of Procedures Letter No. 8, issued JulJ 18,
1936. This provi des that the WPA District Division of Employment shall receive all requisitions fo r workers for projects, making direct assignments of certified persons so far
as possible. Where certified persons are not available to meet the nee·d s of the requisitioning agency, t he unfilled portion of the requisition is to be transmitted to the Uni ted
States Employment Service. Qualified persons are referred by the Employment Service to
the requisitioning project. Wherever such persons are accepted by the project supervisors
actual assignment t herea:f'ter is the responsibility of the WPA.
Labor Requirement s of Federal Agencies
The di strict offices of the Works Progress Administration are the official source
of information regar ding the availability of relief labor in the necessary oocupational
classi£icati ons as r equired by the various work projects. It is necessary therefore, for
these offices to check the labor requirements of Federal agenoy projects as well as li>rk•
Progress Admi nistration projects. The usual procedure is for the labor requirements of
such projects to be cleared at the time the projects are submitted for approval. Where
projects now operating under the jurisdiction of a Federal agency are being oontinued in
operation under 1936 funds, a new procedure was established in General Letter No. 68 issued to all Stat e Works Progress Administrators, August 1, 1936, which provided for review by the Work s Progress Administration of all persons employed on the projects being ao
transferred. The Federal agency in such cases must file with the appropriate office of the
Works Progress Administration Diatrict Division of Employment a list of workers on eaoh
project under t heir jurisdiction being transferred to 1936 funds. The names, addresses,
and relief or non-rel ie f status of eaoh employee are listed and attached to a properly prepared requisition, WPA Form 401. Thie list is to be scanned by the Works Progreas Administration Distr i ct Di vision of Employment to ascertain whether the 11'0rkers listed meet the requirements provided f or projects financed from l93p funds. Thereafter the assignment procedure indicated above is to be followed.
In this connection, it is noted that any exemptions frOJD requirements covering
the employment of certified labor or from t he monthly earnings achedule which have previously been granted to Federal agencies on projects operating from funda appropriated by the
ERA Aot of 1935 do not apply to projects (continued or new) whioh are operated from funds
appropriated by the ERA Aot of 1936.
Certification of labor for PWA Projects
In order to expedite the clearance of PrU. projeota when auoh proj~eta are aubmit•
ted for clearance as descriDed above, state ll'orka Progress Administrators were advised in
General Letter No. 62, issued August 8, 1936, that upon receipt of an analysis of labor re•
quirements for each proposed PffA project, immediate certification shall be made to local
authorities as to the availability of certified labor in the vicinity of the project.
NOTES ON THE PROGRESS OF INDffiDUAL AGENCIES
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Animal Industry
From funds made available by the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1936, the
Bureau of Animal Industry received 1890,160 for the purpose of eradicating the cattle tick
in Florida, Louisiana, and Texas; $200 1 000 for demonstration projects in liver fluke control in four western States (111.shington, Idaho, Oregon, and utah)J and $28,900 for building improvements at the Brooksville, Florida, station. In order to enable the Bureau to
carry on cattle tick and liver fluke demonstration projects during the fiscal year 1937,
the sum of $376,000 ha.a been made available from ERA funds of 1936. Of this amount
$300 1 000 was allocated to cattle tick eradication, end the remainder for the continuation
of liver fluke dtmionstration projects. b of July 26, a total of 1,923 persons were working on the Bureau'• projects. Of this number, 1,236 had been certified as in need of relief.
Biological Survey
The President ha.a approved an allocation of $600,000 from ERA Act of 1936 f'unda
for the continuation of the project operated by the Biological Survey in North Dakota and
for aimilar projects in nine other states during the fiscal ye&l' 1937. A total of
$278,089 had previously been allocated from 1935 ERA Act funds to the North Dakota project which involves chiefly the construction of wild life refuges.
Of the 57,932 acres upon 'Which the North Dakota pr oject was prosecuted, 49,831
were obtained under easement and the remainder were acquired through purchase. On thia
project seven dams with diversion ditches and 20 other dams had been built, an island had
be6ll created by hydraulic fill, a road crossing had been riprapped 1 and 110rk on three diversion ditches had been completed by July ~o. The Survey had expended about 55 percent
of its total allocations from 1935 funds.
The Survey reported 478 persons certifi~d as eligible for ~elief and 29 non-relief persons at work on the 27 project units during the week ending July 25.
Entomology and Plant Quarantine
A detailed discussion of the activities of this Bureau may be found in another
section of this report.
Forest Service
Preliminary reports from the Fotest Service indicate that 10,140 persons certified as in need of relief and 1,466 non-relief persons were employed on its $26,699,626
work and land acquisition projects during the week ending July 26. These represent a decrease of 3,644 persons of certified relief standing and a decrease of 982 non-relief persons from June 27. Cn July 9 the President approved an allocation to the Service of
$5,073,000 from funds made available under the ERA Act of 1936. Almost 50 percent of this
amount was allocated for fire prevention activity, while the remainder was divided between
camp grounds, range, and forestation improvements, pest control, and planning and investigation activities.
AB a result of this new allocation, the Service expects material expansion of
employment on its projects by August 31.

The Survey•s project in Kern County, California, for repairing derricks and roads.
removal of fire hazards, etc., on Government property at Naval Petroleum Reserves was orficially completed on July 11 at a cost of $9,723 out of an allocation of 19,913. labor
costs totaled $9,364, while materials amounted to $569.
Work is pro~ressing in 14 eastern States on the project for the repair and replacement of stream-gauging stations damaged by the floodc of the spring of 1936. A total of 153 persons, of whom 132 had been certified as in need of relief. were working on
this program during the week ending July 25.
National Park Service
The first project, or the National Park Service approved under the Emergency Re•
lief Appropriation Act of 1936 received their allocations in July. The sum ot $1,964.,4}6 was
allocated for development of 46 public recreation areas in 24 States, which had been 1mder the
supervision of the Resettlement Administration. For the continuation of three projects formerly operated by the WPA, allocations were made as follovss $376,000 for the control of beach
erosion along the Virginia and North Carolina ooastsi $1S6,681 for road, trail, dam, and development work at the Dinosaur National MonU1118nt in Utah and the Colorado National KollUll\8ntJ and
$1.012 1 160 for the operation of work camps in any or all of 39 park areas located in 16 States.
Right-of-way plans for the first section of the Natchez-Tra.oe Parkway have been
halted tnrough a ruling by the Attorney General of Mississippi that all counties must
match the amounts or State funds made available for acquisition of land for the construction of the parkway. Since the counties have developed no procedure fo~ raising such
funds and money can be obtained by the counties only under difficulties, it is doubtful if
the State will soon meet its proportion of the obligations involved. Plans have been completed, however, for obtaining rights of way for the second 12-1/2 mile section and alternative routes are being surveyed for the third section, which will be 16 miles in length.
Construction plans for the first section are practically complete and are still under way
for the second section. On the Jefferson Memorial project in St. Louis work preparatory
to land acquisition is being continued pending the outcome of it\junction suits. During
the week ending July 25 these two projects employed 62 persons of whom 28 were certified
as eligible for relief.
The tvro land acquisition projects of the Service are approaching completion. Of
the $706.000 allocated for the purchase of land for emergency conservation work at Isle
Royale, Michigan, contracts involving $607 .848 had been executed on June 30. The project
at Crater National Park. Petersburg, Virginia, had obligated $24,720 of its $30,000 allocation for the execution of land purchase contracts by the same date.

For the fiaoal year 1937 initial allotments had been approved by the President through July 27 for
362 PWA projects throughout the country. Their total construction cost was estimated at
$50,774,196. Congress specified that up to J300,000,000 of the PWA revolving fund ahould
be used at the discretion of the President for allotment grants to assist local bodies in
carrying forward types of permanent improvement works similar to those undertake11. ·in earlier PWA programs.
Housing
As a result of delays in securing aatisfactory bids for superatructure work on
a number of large projects. employment on PWA Housing Division projects decreased slightly to a total of 6,803 persona on July 26. Thirteen construction oontracta valued at
$22,901,469 were executed during the month of July. It is estimated that these ocntracte
will put 12,300 men to work. This brings the total of executed contracts to 91, with a
total value of $48,199,790.
ill 40 projects have now reached the oonatruction stage. By the end of July 17
projects were in the foundation stage, with that type of work rapidly approaching completion. Work on superstruotures was being started on the remaining 23 projects. The housing developments on 16 of the projects are designed for the use of electrical equipment
exclusively and on 21 other projects electrical refrigeration will be provided. Electric
lighting equipment is used on all the proJects and other electrioal equipment is included
whenever favorable wholeaale rates make its uae economical for the tenants.
RESETTLEMENT .ADMmISTRATION
During July the number of persona working on Resettlement Administration projects
decreased by about 1,700 to a total of 63,662 on July 26. The total included 47,651 persona working under the

made on 8,987,972 a.ores
of this land at a cost
of $39,202,636. This includes 1,815,527 acres definitely purchased at a coat of
$8,193,432. Of the 10,673 families living on the land to be purchased, 6,632 are to be
settled in more fertile areas with Rea~,-l;tlement Administration aid and 4,283 will be
resettled without such aid.
Under the land utilization program, which involves development of the submarginal land, are included 208 projects. Of these, 31 Indian-land projects and 32 miir.atory-waterfowl projects are being turned over for development to the Departments of Interior and Agriculture respectively. On 99 agricultural demonstration projects trees
will be planted, forests will be thinned, fire towers built, range grasses restored, and
other general improvements made to 6,874,113 acres of land. The remaining 46 are recreational projects, chiefly parks, and are located for the most part in areas readily accessible to large centers of population.
The resettlement phase of the Administration's program may be divided into three
partsJ rural resettlement, subsistence homesteads, and suburban housing. The rural resettlement work involves 72 active projects. Of these 10 are tenant-security projects in
which the farm units to be purchased are those on which the families to be aided are now
living as tenants, 6 are garden projects for industrial and agricultural works, 2 are migratory camp projects for farm laborers, 2 are part-time farming projects, and 52 involve
other types of aid. Forty-one of these projects are under construction and final plans
have already been approved on the remaining 31.
Plans for the subsistence homestead phase of the resettlement program include 47
subsistence homesteads in addition to the 18 already completed. Four of the five suburban
housing projects (Berwyn, MarylandJ Milwaukee, WisconsinJ Cincinnati, OhioJ and Hightstown, New Jersey) are under way, but the project at Ironwood, Minnesota, has not yet been
started. These projects will provide 3,800 dwelling units, 1,402 of which were under construction and 51 of which were already completed by July 31.

The Resettlement Administration reporte that a total of $99,378,942 had been disbursed in loans and grants to about 673,000 rehabilitation oases by July 24. Rehabilitation loans of $78,224,671 were made to 321,698 oases, and feed and orop loans of t746,899
were made to 9,466 oases. A total of 9,881 olients reoeived oorporation authorization
loans amounting to $4,680,629 from funds originally allotted to the States for loan purposes. Rehabilitation grants of $16,660,946 were made to S26,166 oases, and emergency
drought grants of about 166,000 were made to almost 6,000 oases.
RURAL ELECTRIFICATION ADMINISTRATION
A detailed discussion of the activities of the Rural Electrification Admini•tration may be found in another eeotion of this report.
DEPART.MEN'l' OF THE TREASURY
Coast Guard
:Qnployment on Coast Guard projects increased steadily during July, reaching a
total of 683 worker6 certified as in need of relief and 422 non-relief persons on July 26.
It is anticipated that this rise will continue through August as more projects get under
way. Contracts amounting to $133,250 were aTll'B.iting bids on July 31. By that date
$4,026,427 had been obligated and $1,737,786 expended, leaving unexpended balances of
$3,113,164.
Internal Revenue
In the 11 months ending July 31, 1936, during which the Bureau of Internal Revenue has been operating its work projects for examining tax returns of income taxpayers,
retail liquor dealers, and other miscellaneous groups of taxpayers, the three activities
have netted delinquent tax oolleotiona to the amotmt of $6,444,382. When this figure i•
compared with the obligations of approximately $3,718,000 incurred in the prosecution of
the work, it is evident that near!¥ two dollars have been collected for every dollar
spent. Total assessments have aggregated over $19,000,000. The excess of nearly
$12,700,000 over actual collections is estimated by the Bureau to be about 70 percent collectible. During July assessments of approximately $3,554,000 were made and about $?4i,OOO
was collected at a cost of $329,000.
Net allocations to the Bureau on June 30 totaled t3,626,688. Since that time
new allocations have been made from 1936 ERA Act funds for continuation of the work.
These amounted to Jl,165,588 on July 31, comprising 1269,833 for the income tax examination, $316,224 for the retail liquor dealers examination, and 1669,631 for the miscellaneous tax investigation.
Procurement Division
On July 31 the Procurement Division reported 208 project units operating in various Government buildings throughout the United States. These included 77 mural projects,
27 sculpture projects, 92 easel painting projects, and 12 projects involving miscellaneous
types of art work. By the end of July, 3,366 easel paintings, S murals, and 2 aoulpturea
had been completed.
In prosecuting this project, $270,357 out of an allocation of $543,584 had been
obligated and $251,443 expended by the same date. Employment on July 25 totaled 328 per~ons, including artists, supervisors, photographers, and other workers, of whom 259 had
been certified as eligible for relief.

Public Health Service
Except for the temporary continuance of one or two ■peoialized investigations,
field work has been completed on all phases of the health inventory program. The central
office in Detroit is continuing its 1R>rk of coding and tabulation and it is expected that
first reports on analysis of the data will be available in Ootober. Schedules have been
made for 866,000 families in the survey of chronic and disabling illness conducted in 90
cities end 23 rural counties. The communicable disease study, carried on in 28 cities,
has yielded schedules for 220,000 families. Transcriptions of records of industrial 1iok
benefit associations in about 390 firms have produced 663,000 schedules for analysis in
connection with the oooupational morbidity and mortality study. In addition, incidental
studies on special subjects have been made.
Net allocations to the Service on June 30, 1936, totaled 12,721,760. On July 9
an allocation of $310,000 was added to this from 1936 ERA Act f'unds. Since the beginning
of the program 2,306 •an-years of employment have been provided at a cost of 12,566,700,
an. average of 11,110 per :man-year.
Secretary's Office
In July the President alleoated 1136,600 to the Office of the Secretary of the
Treasury from funds made available by the Energenoy Relief Appropriation Aot of 1936, in
order to continue work now in progress on the Income !ax Survey. The Secretary's Office
had previously received an allocation of 1806,447 for prosecution of this survey. By the
end of July work had been completed in 6 of the 12 States in which project unLts were
being prosecuted. By that time 889 man-years of employment had been provided and about
$800,000 had been expended. Expenditures per man-year averaged about 1900.
VETERANS' AD.MINISTRATION
Three of the Veterans' .Administration•• projects • located in Iowa; North Dakota,
and Kentucky • had been completed and seven others were more than 90 percent finished on
July 31. The remaining six were at least half finished. All of the projects of the
Veterans• .Administration involve general repairs, improvement, a.nd rehabilitation work on
buildings and grounds. From total allocations of $1,238,360 the sum of $1,096,263 had
been obligated by July 31 and $1,017,627 had been expended.
Employment decreased slightly during the month owing to the completion or approaching completion of projects. On July 25 there were 972 persons employed, of whom
899 had been certified as eligible for relief,
WAR DEPARTMENT
Corps of Engineers
The Corps of Engineers completed 5 projects during July, bringing the total of
their completed projects to 36. The project at Los Angeles and Long Beach, California,
involved the construction of a 12,500-foot breakwater which will improve the harbor facilities of the two cities. This project was financed only in pa.rt by Works Program funds.
Two dredging projects were completed: one in New York involving dredging and removal of
rock from the Hudson River in order to promote safe navigation to the port of Albany, and
the other at Tampa Harbor in Florida, The two other completed projects involved levee construction in Louisiana and the construction of two jetties at Grays Harbor on the coast of
Washington. Due to these completions and the suspension of the Passamaquoddy and Florida
Ship Canal projects, employment decreased considerably during the monthi falling to 36,618
persons by July 25. This total inoluded 26,287 workers certified as eligible for relief
and 11,331 non-relief persons.
During July additional allocations of tl,3OO,000 1r9re made for t he~• .blg•l••
nood control project, bringing total f'unde available for the.~ projeet to fl l,689,000 and
total allocations to the Corpe of Engineers (exclusiTe of administrative runda ) to
tl31,OO9,38l. On July 31th• sum of tl27,216,O89 had been obligated and f87,O2 6,676
expended.
Quartermaster Corps
During July, 37 of the 247 QuartennasterCorps projects were reported completed
bringing the total number of oompleted projects to 142 on July 31. The recent ly OOlllpleted
projects were located as follona 4 in Texas, 3 eaoh in California and Illinois, 2 eaoh in
Hawaii, Missouri, N911' Jersey, New Mexioo, New York, Ohio, and Oklahoma., and one es.oh in
Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Kentuoley, Maryland, Miohigan, Montana, Rhode Iale.nd,
South Carolina., Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia. Three of the 37 project• ftre for
new building conatruction, 4 for improvement of buildings, 8 for general repair• to buildings, one for repair to water 1upply systems, 6 for improvement to oemeteriea, one for improvement of grounds, 4 for repair of d8.111age done by floods and storms, one for repair to
utilities, and 9 for miscellaneous g;eneral repairs to buildings, utilities, and grounds.
Two projects of this agenoy, representing flood and storm relief measures, a.re not yet under
way. In asdition work on one project in Kentucky, suspended during the ,reek ending July 18,
is expected to be reopened during August.
The number of employees at ll'Ork on Quartermaster Corps projects on July 25 totaled 6,241, of whom 4,906, or 79 peroent , W8r e certified ae in need of relief. The decrease
in the percentage of persons certified as in need of relief is due to the fact that the
large number of nearly completed proj&cts require the eervices of only the more experienced
employees, who usually are not relief oases.
During the month an additional J76,OOO was allocated to the project at Bolling
Field, District of Columbia, bringing total allocations to the Quartermaster Corps to
$14,591,384. By the end of July Jl4,3OO,621 had been obligated and actual expenditures
totaled $11,808,651.
WORKS PROGRESS ADMINISTRATION
A total of ll,841,467,046, had been allocated to the Works Progress Administration by July 31, 1936. In addition to allocations for ll'Ork projects, this total includes
relatively small amounts for administrative expenses and the National Youth Administration,
and has been provided from funds under the Emergency Relief Appropriation Aot of 1935 except for J377,fi63,OOO recently made available from funds of the 1936 Aot. By the end of
July obligations incurred on WPA projects amounted to Jl,833,621,21O and expenditures aggregated $1,468,672,692.
Employmf'lnt on WPA work projects decreased only slightly during July. From
June Z7, when 2,255,898 persons were working, employment dropped about 23,000 persons in
t~e two weeks ending July 11. In the two succeeding weeks, however, employment increased
by more than 15,000 persons to a total of 2,248,113 on July 25. This rise is a result of
the development of projects providing work for farmers in the drought areas.
During the semimonthly period ending July 15 earnings on WPA pro j e ct s amounted
to $58,627,000, Hours worked or credited totaled 124,843,000, bringing the aver age hourly
wage to 46.9 cents, which represents the peak in average earnings per hour sinoe t he beginning of the program. The highest rates W8re earned on educational, professi onal, and
clerical projects, which paid an average of 61.9 oents per hour.
Through July 1936, purchases and contributions of materials, supplies , and equipment for use on WPA projects amounted to Jl86,369,Ml. Among the various t ypes of suppli es
purchased, the most important item was lumber and its products, for which expenditures of
$23,368,692 were made. Cement accounted for expenditures of 117,266,0SO, paving materials
cost $15,376,918, and cast iron pipe and fittings, Jl4,161,746. By type of project the
largest purchases consisted of $61,169,942 worth of materials, supplies, and equipment
for highway, road, and street projects. Expenditures of 136,117,675 were made for public
building projects, 130,167,364 for sewer systems and other utilities, and $26,137,970
for recreational facilities.
National Youth Administration
During June 177,584 persona were employed on about 6,600 BYA projects. The
total included 4,766 adults working on the full-time schedule of hours and earning security wage rates established for WPA projects, in addition to 172,828 young peraona employed
at the specified NYA rates. These persons earned nearly 12,960,000 in payment tor approximately 7,641,000 hours of work. adults receiving 1364,000 for 602,000 hours of work,
while youths were paid $2,596,000 for 7,059,000 hours.
With the ending of the spring semester in May and June, the number of students
benefiting under the student Aid Program dropped rapidly to 211,161 in June. The total
included 126,164 high-school students, who were paid approximately $680,000 for a little
over 2,157,000 hours of 110rk1 79,444 college students, who received t998,000 for 2,906,000
hours of workJ 6,547 graduate students, who receivad $121,000 for 237,000 hours of workJ
and only 6 elementary-school students, who received a total of $29 for 96 hours of work.
TABLES
EXPLANATORY NOTF.S
Employment data reoorded in this seotion relate to persons employed on
lt'Ork projeots finanoed, in whole or in part, from funds provided by the Emergenoy
Relief Appropriation Aots of 1936 and 19a6. Qualifying this statement is the exolusion of the followings (a) administrative employees, {b) workers on NYA projeots
- usually employed at one-third the scheduled monthly earnings - and persons benefiting through the NYA Student Aid Program, (o) employees made available by the sponsors of WPA projeots. The PW'A non-Federal employment figure is based on total project employment, and thus inoludes employment provided through expenditure of PW'A
loans from revolving funds and of locally raised funds, as well as of grants from
Works Program funds. Employment under Emergency Conservation Work (mainly CCC) is
included, although sinoe about July 1, 1936,this has been finanoed from funds made
available by direct appropriation and consequently not provided under the Emergency
Relief Appropriation Aots. It may be noted that reoipients of rural rehabilitation
loans and grants of the Resettlement Administration are not included in the employment reported for that administration.
Tables.relating to funds·refer only to monies provided by the Emergenoy Relief Appropriation Aots of 1935 and 1936 (occasional exoeptions appear, such as
Table 13), Terms used in these tables are defined as follO'W'B:
1. "Allooations" represent amounts ordered transferred to an
agency by the President for which warrants have been issued by
the Treasury. The qualifioation "Warrants approved" means that
only those allocations which have been approved by the Comptroller General are included.
2. "Obligations" represents actual or contingent-liabilities inourred against funds allocated by ~he President. The figures are
cumulative and represent paid as well as unpaid obligations. On
work performed under contract, the value of the contract is set
up as an obligation upon signing of the contraot. Where requisitions for supplies, materials or equipment have been submitted,
the amounts are set up as obligations. Items which are oertain
to become due in a short period are recorded in advanoes e.g.,
payrolls, rents, travel expenses, eto. are obligated one period
in advance.
3. "Expenditures" represents ohecks issued in payment of payrolls
and other certified vouchers, and in full or part payment against
contracts.
Neither obligations nor expenditures neoessarily provide a wholly aocurate
reflection of operations, since obligations in ?art reflect future operations, while
expenditures lag behind the true ourrent .picture due to delays in presenting vouchers
for payment and to time consumed by the mechanism of actual payment. The lag in expenditures may be illustrated by such agencies as the Bureau of Publio Roads, where
States frequently wait some time before submitting vouchers for reimbursement.
