Excerpt from Trends in Relief Expenditures, 1910-1935The analysis in Part I is purposely much fuller than that in Part II, since the various Federal agencies administering relief and assistance programs in recent years have individually published much statistical data concerning their operations.Statistical data concerning the operations of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, the Civil Works Administration, including the Civil Works Service, and the Works Program, exclusive of the Civilian Conservation Corps, were supplied by the Division of Research, Sta tistics, and Records of the Works Progress Administration. Data for the Civilian Conservation Corps were obtained from the Office of the Emergency Conservation Work and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Data for the Resettlement Administration were obtained directly from that agency. The major contribution of Part II is to ing these data together in a readily accessible form and to combine them into an integrated relief and wage assistance series which will give a more complete measure of the total burden of public assistance, exclusive of institutional relief, than has hitherto been supplied.Emphasis has been placed throughout the report on the measure ment of expenditures for relief and wage assistance during the period covered. N o attempt has been made to evaluate the effectiveness of the various relief measures in meeting need, to describe the policies or operations of the several agencies administering public assistance, or to interpret expenditure trends in terms of underlying economic or social conditions.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
