Essay / Analysis of the working class during the Great Depression the name “Great Depression”. On Tuesday, the U.S. stock market, which had been rising rapidly for a decade, suddenly collapsed, sending the United States into its most severe economic downturn to date. In 1931, the unemployment rate was at its lowest with nearly a third of the population unemployed. Until Franklin Roosevelt, also known as FDR, campaigned for the office of president in 1933 and became the thirty-second president. FDR quickly began to alleviate the horrible economic situation. His plan was to provide stable jobs and help the many people suffering in the economy. For more than eight years, FDR introduced a series of experimental projects, known as the New Deal. The goal of the New Deal was to restore all the dignity and wealth lost to the majority of Americans. During the long years of depression, two types of employees emerged. One was the “industrial worker” and the other was the “farmer”. Within these two groups, there were white men and women and black men and women. At that time, there was a lot of racial and gender segregation in the workplace. As difficult as it was for a white man to find a job in either of these fields, it was four times harder for a white woman or a black woman/man to get a job, but life began to become even more difficult with the "New Deal." " began. To give you a better idea of life during the "Great Depression", I will start by explaining the differences between industrial workers and farmers.
