4 statistics "In America the unemployment rate reached nearly 25% at its peak." - thegreatdepression.co.uk "Nearly 50% of the children of the great depression did not have adequate food, shelter, or medical care.“ - - stocks-simplified.com The Dust Bowl: There was a terrible drought which has turned soil into dust. During the Great depression a period of severe dust storms causing major damage to farms. Millions of acres of farmland became useless and hundreds of thousands of people became homeless World War 2 eventually pulled the US out of the depression by creating new jobs Between 1929 and 1932 the annual income of an average American family dropped by 40% During the Great Depression bankers became so unpopular that bank robbers, such as Bonnie and Clyde, became American folk heroes

Rural life Drought Neighbors helped each other Everyone was poor

City life Unemployment or pay cuts Unheated, unsanitary homes Terror everywhere

Problems of the rich Stock market crash Rich got richer, at the expense of the poor

Problems of the middle class Unemployment Difficult to find ways to make money

African American conditions The Great Depression of the 1930s worsened the already bleak economic situation of African Americans. They were the first to be laid off from their jobs, and they suffered from an unemployment rate two to three times that of whites. In early public assistance programs African Americans often received substantially less aid than whites, and some charitable organizations even excluded blacks from their soup kitchens. – Encyclopedia Britannica

Poor conditions/ deserving poor The poor were hit the hardest. By 1932, Harlem had an unemployment rate of 50 percent and property owned or managed by blacks fell from 30 percent to 5 percent in 1935. Farmers in the Midwest were doubly hit by economic downturns and the Dust Bowl. Schools, with budgets shrinking, shortened both the school day and the school year. - http://www.nps.gov/archive/elro/glossary/great-depression.htm They had to live in places called “Hooverville” and they were known for the horrible conditions.

Dust bowl Between 1930 and 1940, the southwestern Great Plains region of the United States suffered a severe drought Dry land farming on the Great Plains led to the systematic destruction of the prairie grasses. Winds whipped across the plains, raising billowing clouds of dust. The sky could darken for days, and even well-sealed homes could have a thick layer of dust on the furniture

Hoover policies Herbert Hoover (1874-1964), a Republican, was president when the Great Depression began. He infamously declared in March 1930 that the U.S. had “passed the worst” and argued that the economy would sort itself out. The worst, however, had just begun and would last until the outbreak of WWII (1939). Herbert Hoover was a laissez faire president and that FDR brought us out of the depression. Herbert Hoover broke with the previous laissez-faire policy for dealing with recessions and depressions. In the last week of October 1929, he urged the Fed to extend $300 million in quantitative easing

Extras – red cross The Red Cross and the government set up stations that gave food and other necessities such as clothes to the needy. Big and efficient Had to help cope with the drought
