The Civil Works Administration (CWA) was the first public employment program of the New Deal. It was created in the fall of 1933 but disbanded the following spring. It employed about four million workers doing jobs that eventually were turned over to the WPA, Works Project Administration.

The CWA got several million people off the federal "dole" and gave them a job and regular paychecks.
