In an effort to spur recovery, the admistration of Franklin D. Roosevelt created the New Deal and other government social programs that sought to improve confidence and restore jobs in the economy. It involved the federal government in many areas of banking and industry regulation. Included were the massive public works programs of the WPA (Works Progress Administration) and the rural electric construction of the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority). It also featured the debut of the Social Security system.

However, it took a larger economic stimulus, which was World War II, to finally end the Depression. It also included unprecendented spending by the federal government for the war effort. Although dependent on women for the first time as a significant workforce, the war boom got the US out of its economic crisis and established the basis for the modern form of US society.
