Life in the Depression was hard. Many more people were pushed into bankruptcy and poverty. The head of the house hold had more responsibilities to take care of. People were homeless and hungry and the government could not come up the help that was needed fast enough. People fought over barrels of garbage. Medicaid, food stamps, and unemployment checks were created in order to help the needed families. Many people felt it was their fault that they had failed; therefore, they isolated themselves inside their homes. Other people who worked, worked in lowly conditions and their wages were lowered to not enough to get by. People who did not want to earn the money assigned were replaced with people who did in order to get the job done.

Causes of Great Depression

The most major cause of the great depression was the lack of diversification. The US had only a set of major companies that basically recycled the money already in the market. Therefore, when these companies failed, others began to fail too. The people then started to lose their money and everyone was into trouble when it was all over. Most of the big companies ruled and were receiving all of the wealth so when they fell the small companies were still standing strong. If the US was diverse in its business then everything might have survived and helped each other through the Great Depression. Since all the wealthy was involved with the big companies this was where the money went and the money was gone when the businesses fell especially the monopolies businesses.
