The clip begins with a bar graph of the total US housing market between 1928 and 1932, and shows that there was a 92% decline in the market’s value. The scene cuts to a collage of newspaper headlines about how government aid in the market is reemploying constructions workers and getting more people into homes. The camera shows several shot of construction workers building homes, eating lunch, and then the clip ends on the FHA’s better housing program.
