A Bread Line

Bank Failures

Farm Foreclosures In 1933: 364,000 farms went bankrupt and were foreclosed.

Unemployment

in 1920's U.S. Eco. was based on the productivity – purchasing power - employment cycle for many goods to be produced, purchasing demand had to be there: this resulted in high employment and a healthy economy b/n , U.S. productive capacity doubled but it was b/c of technological innovation  electricity and mechanical advances made for better production, but no new jobs were added to the economy so more consumer goods were available, but there weren't nec. more people to buy them (OVERPRODUCTION)

President Herbert Hoover Relied on “rugged individualism” and cooperation rather than government interference.

Hoovervilles

Hoboes Migrant workers roam the country looking for a job or a handout where they can find it. Hobo Signs – gn.htmhttp:// gn.htm
