During Roosevelt’s speech on July 2, 1932, when he was accepting the Democratic nomination for the presidency, he created the idea of the New Deal. The New Deal is a program that lasted between 1933 and 1939 that sought to help with economic relief during the Great Depression; along with relief, it brought reforms in industry, finance, labour, agriculture, waterpower, and housing. The first three months of Roosevelt's presidency was called the Hundred Days in which legislation started that New Deal. The first objective that Roosevelt aimed to alleviate was the astronomical number of unemployed workers. To supply temporary jobs and government aid, agencies such as Works Progress Administration and the Civilian Conservation Corps were formed.
