The document summarizes job creation programs during the Great Depression and Great Recession. During the Great Depression, FDR introduced the New Deal which included programs like the CCC, CWA, PWA, and WPA to create jobs and reduce unemployment. These programs focused on restoring forestation, public works projects, and construction. During the Great Recession, unemployment rose again and Obama introduced new job creation programs, while earlier the American Job Creation Act under Bush aimed to stimulate job growth through tax incentives for businesses. Job creation programs are used by governments during economic downturns to reduce unemployment.
