Challenges of the Great Depression

Question 1 • MCPSS AL-Grade 6 United States Studies: The Industrial Revolution to the Present - Summer School 2026

In which situation would a migrant family most likely find themselves during the Great Depression?

Answer
A
They lived together in good conditions, and only the parents worked on the farm.
B
They lived with relatives and escaped poverty by working as laborers in a factory.
C
They lived on their own and escaped poverty by working at manufacturing jobs.
D
They lived together in poor conditions, and all family members worked on the farm.

Explanation

During the Great Depression, many migrant families traveled to find farm work but faced low wages and harsh living conditions. Because one worker’s earnings were often not enough to support the family, parents and children alike worked in the fields. This best matches living together in poor conditions while all family members worked on the farm.
