Hopkins says aid will be given to those in need under the new setup. Federal funds will support state and local administrations as they bear part of the 2 percent contribution. Able-bodied workers will be placed in jobs at local wages, with a 30 cent minimum and 24 hour weeks, aiming to continue many projects. CWA work has ended in the Dakotas and drought areas of Minnesota and Kansas.
