A few problems here: Back in the 30s (WPA) public works projects used large numbers of semi-skilled men to do brute-force labor. Now we use just a few skilled heavy equipment operators (and lots of supervisors) to do that same job. Besides, there are few native-born Americans who would be willing to do that back-breaking work under primitive living conditions like the WPA. They believe they DESERVE better.
