3. You'l probably like this book also:
'American-Made: The Enduring Legacy of the WPA: When FDR Put the Nation to Work"

4. Not only has the construction industry been heavily mechinized

Can you imagine handing the business end of a shovel to a former cube rat or telling a web designer or "IT professional" to grab the handles of a wheelbarrow?

I have my doubts. The population in the '30s where heavily agrarian and used to physical labor. Today's generation? Not so much.
