The Great Depression led to widespread unemployment. Extreme poverty was inflicted on both middle class and lower class and in some cases even upper class. Suicide rates jumped high. People lost their homes and farms. Many moved to live in 'Hoovervilles'. There was social unrest within the society. The effect even reflected on other countries and trade reduced substantially. The idea of social security also became prominent after the Great depression.
