The New Deal was the name given by the president of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt, to his interventionist policies developed between 1933 and 1938, consisting of a series of programs, public work projects and financial reforms aimed to relief the effects of the Great Depression. Among others, some of the major public programs and agencies were the Social Security Administration, the Farm Security Administration, the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933 and the Civilian Conservation Corps. Most importantly, the Civil Works Administration played a fundamental role in the economic recovery, directly providing jobs to unemployed Americans; in January 1934, the Agency goal was already fulfilled, having created 4 million jobs for unemployed and vulnerable citizens.
