The Great Depression devastated people's lives across the United States. It caused widespread unemployment in cities and rural areas, forcing many men into homeless encampments. African Americans, Latinos, and other minorities faced particularly high unemployment rates and discrimination. Families struggled to survive as breadwinners lost their jobs, and many children dropped out of school to help support their families. The psychological toll was immense as poverty and hopelessness spread through communities.
