∙ 13y agoTo my knowledge I do not think there are any accurate numbers as to how many people actually lost their jobs. Record keeping was not as efficient during the 1930s as it is today. Plus, many people never reported being unemployed because of the feeling at the time that it was something to be ashamed about if you could not provide for your family. We do have fairly accurate unemployment rates:
1930--3.2 percent
1931--15.9 percent
1932--23.6 percent
1933--24.9 percent
1934--21.7 percent
1935--20.1 percent
1936--16.9 percent
1937--14.3 percent
1938--19.0 percent
1939--17.2 percent

Did the economic prosperity of the 1920s bring positive social and cultural changes to US society?
Not when you consider the financial and industrial decrease of 1929 and subsequent years, which led to the Great Depression. Even though there were widespread social reforms in the early 20s, the economic depression that was to come by 1929 made it impossible for people to work toward "common good" goals. The Great Depression was the Great Interrupter of many people's lives, including those who took their lives when they lost all of their wealth... and for the families they left behind. In a morbid sense, the Great Depression made "social good" an every person's practice, because everyone had to help each other to just survive.
