The Nazi domestic policy was successful since the Nazi's reduced unemployment by legislation and initiatives being introduced these were to deal with numbers of unemployed Germans. Arbeitdienst (work schemes) were also introduced, this was an overall job creation plan for building new roads the Autobahn. The government also lent money to private companies to create jobs for more people to reduce the unemployment rates. About 5 million RM was used for work creation schemes by the state investments. The first law was passed in 1933 to allow the funding for the first autobahn. Thousands of people were put back to work through the labor service and Emergency Relief schemes, but unemployment was reduced by a huge percentage.
In 1933 unemployment was 25.9% and 3 years later in 1936 it came down by 18.5% to 7.4%. More people were getting jobs. The Reich Entailed Farm Law which was passed in September 1933 attempted the security of peasant ownership of land and also in that year the Reich Food estate took full control of overall planning and organization of agriculture.
In May 1933 Hitler appointed Hjalmar Schact as president of the Reich band, its first act was to increase the state of foreign trade. During the summer of 1934 Schact was made minister of Economics and he promptly introduced the new plan which gave the government powers to control and regulate trade and currency transactions. The new plan was introduced because Germany was importing more goods than it was exporting therefore there was a foreign exchange crisis. The aim of their plan was to make it independent since the German economy had collapsed due to world depression. Schact had also proceeded to make negotiations with other countries such as South America and South Easter Europe. The aim of the negotiations was to prevent Germany running up a huge foreign policy deficit while they were still able to get hold of raw materials.
