WPA Plans 5000 Drought Relief Jobs In 43 Counties

Most new positions will go to farm hands, paying 40 to 48 dollars monthly, with graveling, school, culvert and construction work. Farmers may seek Mostly character loans from the rural resettlement administration, which will be slower to start. All new hires must be certified by relief administrators.
