Did The Great Depression stimulated extensive national action on such issues as unemployment and farm surplus?
It did on unemployment . I can't say about farm surplus , But Roosevelt enacted a nation work complain with aim was to put the unemployed back to work building Roads , Bridges , Dams , Hydroelectric plants exec. It had a catchy name that was something like "The Plan " or something like that . However I don't think anyone truly knows if it work or would have worked . The WW2 started and that's what turned around the Great Depression .

How many Americans were in poverty during the great depression?
Which Depression? The US has experienced quite a few. Let's begin with the Depression of 1837. It lasted until the middle 1840's and unemployment reached 25% in some areas. Then there was the Depression of 1873. It lasted until 1879 and unemployment peaked at 8.25%. This brings us to the Depression of 1893. Unemployment varied all over the country. In Pennsylvania it reached 25%, in New York 35%, and in Michigan 43%. Then there was the Depression of 1920-21. Unemployment varied again by area, and ran anywhere from 5.2 to 11.7%. Then comes the "Great Depression" of 1930. Unemployment in the US reached 25% and may have exceeded that in some states. From then until 2008, there have been a number of recessions and economic downturns in the US. Many debate the 2008 Crisis being a depression, but it meets the definition: " a depression is a sustained, long-term downturn in economic activity in one or more economies. It is a more severe downturn than a recession." The unemployment rate (that is trackable statistics) reported by the US Department of Labor shows that the rate peaked in October 2010 at 10%. This of course only takes into account those who report to state unemployment agencies, or receive benefits. This too is a national average, and not all states experienced the same conditions. Michigan for instance peaked at near 15% in 2009, and still hovers around 8%, while the Dakotas ring in around 2.6%.
