Best Answer

New Zealand was hit pretty hard by the depression as its main source of income was in wool and meat and its main buyer was the U.S. In three years NZ national income dropped 40%!! This was the average income drop for most countries. Unemployment was a major issue as companies had to close down and then all the workers had nowhere to work. The unemployment rate was 30%!! That's 3 in every 10 people (not including children under 18 or Māori women) without a job.
