    ● At the beginning of the 1930s, more than 15
    million Americans–fully one-quarter of all
    wage-earning workers–were unemployed.
    ● This crash put a lot of pressure on banks
    and caused a great deal of money to be
    taken out of the economy.
    ● During the Great Depression, there were 2
    million homeless people in the United
    States.
    World War II
    ● The cost of World War II exceeded $350 billion and the lives of
    292,000 American servicemen.
    ● Led to labor shortages; when the men went to serve, women
    started working
    ● High school dropout rates increased, leading to the teenage
    work force.
    World War II
    ● Despite rising wages and job opportunities, poverty rates also
    increased.
    ● 20 million people were bordering starvation.
    ● Shortage of housing, lack of hospitals, schools, and child health
    care facilities.
    ● Food rationing was scarce
