The New Deal created some new government run jobs for jobless American citizens following the great depression in an effort to put "idle money and idle men to work" as FDR put it.

But not everyone likes the idea of the federal government putting it's hands into the jobs of Americans, which are private enterprises. This was seen by a good amount of people as government interference.
