California and the Great Depression Overview There are multiple facets of how the Great Depression impacted the people and policies of the state. The New Deal’s creation created a social safety net and safeguards against another economic collapse; however, the Great Recession (beginning in 2007) was the worst economic collapse since 1929. People lost their jobs and homes, which created economic anxiety, and the regulations are still felt today (political and economic).
