Please help its not that much and I don't have alot of time to do this!

I want you to do some online research and see if you can find out what life was like back then. Then I want you to write a 5-7 sentence paragraph about how you think The Great Depression would be different if it were to happen during today's times.

Well we currently are in a Great Depression. The Great Depression now is different because we now have technology.

Answer:

The unemployment drama playing out in the U.S. has drawn comparisons to the Great Depression, the worst economic downturn in the history of the industrialized world.

But is the comparison fair?

Yes and no, according to labor economists.

On one hand, the country may soon achieve Depression-era levels of joblessness due to the coronavirus pandemic. By some metrics, we may already be close.
