I for one agree with Keynes and Roosevelt who thought it was better to try and get everyone that was willing to work jobs even if they were as basic as peeling apples than it was to let them remain unemployed, often collecting benefits at public expense. One of the things you didn’t mention was how many people who worked for the WPA later remained in the workforce.
