In the 1930s, particularly during the Great Depression, the poor faced severe economic hardship, struggling with high unemployment and low wages. Many lived in makeshift housing or shantytowns, often referred to as "Hoovervilles," and relied on soup kitchens and charity for food. Families frequently experienced displacement, with children forced to leave school to help support their households. Overall, the decade was marked by widespread poverty and a lack of social safety nets, leading to significant hardship for the impoverished.
