The unemployment crisis was especially prevalent during The Great Depression. It was a time when many lost their jobs, and were unable to feed their families. The Great Depression impacted people throughout the US and thus America as a whole. This massive job loss is what characterized this crisis and made it an unforgettable moment of history. Now in our modern-day life, the threat of mass unemployment is constantly looming. Therefore to prevent the unemployment rate from rising once more we have created this website with one purpose in mind: to raise awareness of the looming threat of unemployment and help prevent this crisis from ever occurring again.
Our Goal
The purpose of this website is to help spread and educate about the issue of the unemployment crisis. We have consulted Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath," historical events, and contemporary sources to analyze this noteworthy issue. We hope to reach out to many different people with many different views how this is a serous issue as we try to raise awareness. With this increase in awareness, we can encourage today's youth to become tomorrow's leaders.
