The stock market crashed on "Black Tuesday," October 29, 1929, with the Dow Jones losing 12% in a single day, and by 1932 it had fallen 89% from its 1929 peak — a level not recovered until 1954. U.S. unemployment peaked at approximately 25% in 1933, with industrial production falling by nearly 47%, while global GDP declined an estimated 15%. Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal (1933-1939) created agencies like the Social Security Administration, the SEC, and the FDIC that still form the backbone of American economic governance, fundamentally expanding the federal government's role in the economy.
