The Nation’s Sick Economy The Great Depression Begins U.S. History Mrs. Janiak

(left side) Video Notes: Describe the optimism (positive attitude) of the late 1920s.

#1 Problems in Industry Some industries: – lost business to foreign competition and new American technologies – Some suffered from declining consumer purchases at the end of the 1920s (less cars and items bought) – Coal industry declined because of the development of new energy sources – New housing declined= affecting all businesses dependent on house construction

# 2 Problems in Agriculture Demand for farm products fell after WWI (less production needed) Many farmers couldn’t pay off their debts and lost their farms= some rural banks had to close Congress tried to pass federal price supports for farm products but President Coolidge vetoed them

# 3 Problems with Consumer Spending Buying on credit was easily available->businesses encouraged Americans to pile up large consumer debt American consumers faced: Rising prices on products Stagnant wages High levels of debt = Americans decreased their purchasing

# 4 Uneven Distribution of Wealth Among Americans Nearly half of U.S. families earned less than the minimum amount needed for a decent standard of living The rich got richer =most consumers didn’t have enough money to buy the goods produced in American factories

# 5 Stock Market Problems Investors= any American who could afford to invest in stocks and bonds in the stock market speculated= bought stocks and bonds in hopes of a quick profit, ignored the risks – Buying on margin= paying a small % of a stock’s price as a down payment and borrowing the rest (never paid the full price). When the market crashed- many investors lost their life savings.
