Answer:

the unemployment rate reached 25% in 1933.

During the great depression, many people lost their jobs and were evicted from their homes.

Hoovervilles are a name for shanty towns or towns that lacked many things like electricity and proper sanitation. They were called Hoovervilles after President Herbert Hoover because many blamed him for the Great Depression.

Hobos were typically homeless and often traveling workers. (I would assume they chose this lifestyle so they could find work and likely because they could not afford the expenses of a home during that time.)

The dust bowl ruined crops and caused severe drought which made it incredibly hard to plant and grow crops, and crop prices dropped.

last one I don't know.
