What was the economic effect of the Great Depression on America’s farmers?

History
1 answer:
KiRa [710]3 years ago
5 0
Farmers were probably the hardest hit group of people during the Great Depression. They were already having a tough time from the 1920's because during WWl, they had been making record numbers of crops that were being sent over seas, but once the war ended they ended up with a surplus which dropped the price of wheat and farmers could hardly make a living. Farmers had also bought tractors and farm equipment with an installment plan, which means they buy now and pay later. This caused many farmers to go into debt because once the depression hit they no longer could afford to pay them off. To make matters worse, unsafe farming practices, like not rotating crops, cause the top soil to blow off and huge dust storms, called the Dust Bowl occurred making life miserable for farmers and their families.

Which of the following best describes a sweatshop?
alexandr1967 [171]

The correct answer is: "employees working long hours at low pay in unsafe conditions"

The term sweatshop is used to refer to a working place characterized by socially unceptable conditions, where the work undertaken can be unsafe, underpaid or both. In such places people work very extense shifts without overtime payments, the minimum wage regulations are ignored and sometimes, even laws banning child labor are violated.

The International Labour Organization had set certain standards for workplaces, in order to avoid such situations, and undertakes periodic inspections all over the world, to assess compliance.
