- Civil Works Administration program was successful because it created many schools, roads, bridges, and employed nearly 4 million people.

- CWA put $1 billion back into the economy.

-This program was only alive for a year because of the opposition that faced. It was replaced later by a program called Works Progress Administration (WPA).

- This program used the federal funding ($200 million a month) in the right ways because CWA provided jobs for many workers, built 40,000 school, improved 255,000 miles of road, built 1000 airports, and 3,700 playgrounds in only one year.

- CWA's purpose was to help the economy and the people during the Great Depression.

- 80% of the profit that this program got went to workers' salaries, which is why political pressure forced President Roosevelt to stop the program.
