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
