Life in the Great Depression

During the Great Depression,people lost their jobs. It didn't matter how poor or rich you were...everyone suffered. A lot of people had to search for food...some even went through garbage bags, but most people just lived off of "powdered milk, dry beans, and potatoes". Throughout the Great Depression job unemployment rose from around 5 million to almost 13 million just within a year. Children left school to try and help their families. Homes were being taken away as well. As you can see The Depression caused man people to suffer.
