Description
This poster is based on a photograph of an unskilled worker receiving his first paycheck from Works Progress Administration (WPA). WPA was a federal program that provided work for millions of Americans during the hard times of the Great Depression (1929-1939). This man is working on infrastructure in the form of railway tracks. In the early 20th century "riding the rails" was the best way to go for long distance travel or moving freight.
The photo is also a character study as well. The man's face shows the satisfaction of reward for a job well done. And you can almost hear his thoughts as he plans how to spend the money on the needs of himself and his family.
