Also, the income was more steady in factories because it did not depend on environmental conditions like the production of crops does. There were also more opportunities in the city for education for their children.

People who lived on farms had even less than urban dwellers.Because people had no money, they stopped buying these products, but factories and farms still continued to produce at the same rate. As the farmers and industry leaders realized fewer people were buying, they cut back production. To do this, they had to lay off more and more workers.

This trend continued in a downward spiral until twenty-five per cent of the population was unemployed
