Lasting effects of the Great Depression
Organizations SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) SSA (Social Security Administration/Act) FHA (Federal Housing Administration) FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corp) FLSA (Federal Labor Standards Act) Government structure itself would also change. Broader regulatory powers become far more accepted, especially during economic recessions. There will continue to be debate in political parties as to how extensive this should be and what types of regulation actually help.

Lasting effects of the Great Depression
The further we get from the 1930s, the more the lessons of the era are forgotten. Many of the same mistakes are being repeated as Americans return to the era of getting rich quick and trying to live a life they cannot afford. Economic standards and regulations have loosened as well making our economy ever more volatile.
