the new deal had many programs such as social security, the national recovery administration (regulated wages), works progress administration (built thousands of roads, schools, government buildings and works of art), the civilian conservation corps (gave young people jobs to help the environment), and tennessee valley authority (built dams and electric lines in the south). these programs put millions of americans to work, though often at low pay. many of these programs were started early in roosevelt's term in a time called the "hundred days" or in 1935 in a time called the "second new deal". programs like social security grew out of populist movements by people such as huey long that were called "share our wealth" and "ham and eggs". the new deal also led to the rise of worker's unions such as the congress of industrial organizations.
