15 Okt 1932 Jahr - Unemployment Relief Camps

Beschreibung:

Labour camps created by P.M. Bennett that employed single, unemployed, and homeless men. Workers were paid $.20 a day and worked 44 hours a week building roads, planting trees, creating ditches, and other public infrastructure projects. Working conditions were horrible, and while the workers were given a place to sleep and eat, the beds were often infested with bugs and the food was trash.
