Question

In the early 1900s, many new factories were built in the United States. By the 1920s, new items like cars, washing machines, and radios were available for people to buy. People also had more money to spend than ever before. By the 1930s, however, the Great Depression hit. People were out of jobs, had little money, and could not afford to buy the same expensive items. The factories had to cut back production once they realized people were no longer buying. According to the passage, how did the Great Depression affect the demand for goods in the United States?

Answer 1

Demand for goods decreased because people did not have the money to spend.

Step-by-step explanation:

During the Great Depression, the demand for goods decreased. People were unable to find jobs and had very little money to spend. This led to a decrease in supply as well. Since the demand was so low, factories were forced to stop producing items.

Answer 2

Answer: The Great Depression affected the demand for goods by putting many people out of busines. No one was buying any cars, washing machines, or any other expensive items, because people didn’t have any money. A lot of businesses had to cut back production because no one could afford their products.
