The Great Depression caused a myriad of changes in American society and economic policies, many of which linger to this day. Stock Market And Banking Regulations After the stock market crash of 1929 and the collapse of more than 40% of American banks by 1933, strict trading and banking regulations were put in place, as well as financial protections, enforced by the newly formed Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)

Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal FDR introduced programs between 1933 and 1938, designed to help America pull out of the Great Depression by addressing high rates of unemployment and poverty. The cornerstones of the New Deal were the: Public Works Administration National Recovery Administration.

Expanded Role Of Government FDR’s New Deal increased the role of government in people’s lives to unprecedented levels, levels that continued long after America had recovered from the Great Depression. Social Security, a program that continues to this day, was introduced by FDR in the midst of the Great Depression.

Mass Migration When the Dust Bowl conditions in the 1930s led to farmers abandoning their fields, mass migration patterns emerged during the Great Depression, with populations shifting from rural areas to urban centers. The Dust Bowl during the Great Depression led to widespread migration, including 200,000 people who moved to California, most arriving with no money, family, or resources.

Societal Change Many people who survived the Great Depression would remain frugal throughout the rest of their lives, wary of banks, apt to hoard food, and suspicious of the stock market. Hoovervilles were the catchphrase for the shantytowns that cropped up across the United States, as homeless Americans improvised with scraps, abandoned cars, and packing crates.
