What affects did the Great Depression have on Americans

I can't give many but the main one was huge job loss and money loss, tons of company's went out of business. The death toll raised quickly.

Then the city went to bug shovels to get the money, but had to be employed to buy the shovels, therefore preventing another depression and bringing employees to factorys
