How did people in the cities and in rural areas suffer during the great depression?

The most important social consequence generated the economic crisis was unemployment. In the beginning, unemployment was about 500000 but in 1930 this number rose to 3250000. This unemployment generated an increase in the number of hoboes. As people lost their jobs and savings, and couldn't keep up set up homes mortgages on many homes were foreclosed. Many people lacked adequate food, shelter, and clothing.

The consequence of the Great Depression in rural areas was the worsening of farmers condition. Farmers who usually contracted debts to expand production and buy agricultural machinery found themselves in a very vulnerable situation with the loss of domestic and international markets. Faced with the loss of everything, desperate  farmers defied the law. Angry mobs stopped foreclosures and threatened to  lynch the judges sanctioning them.

for the united states of america, 1945 to 1964 was a time of high economic growth and general prosperity. it was also a time of confrontation as the capitalist united states and its allies politically opposed the soviet union and other communist countries; the cold war had begun.
