    Franklin D. Roosevelt created the New Deal programs in the United States during the 1930s to provide relief from the Great Depression. The Civil Works Administration was one of the earliest programs and hired millions of unemployed workers for public works projects like infrastructure improvement. It laid pipelines, improved roads and helped build schools and sewer systems. Though temporary, the CWA provided much needed jobs and wages to those suffering economically during this difficult time period.
