During the Depression, The Dust Bowl occurred mainly throughout the 30s across the United States. With the damage The Great Depression inflicted on the economy, these severe dust storms only enlarged the issue. People and livestock were killed, homes were lost, and crops failed across the entire region. The Great Depression affected many concerning poverty and vagrancy, but other events occurred during this time, only adding to its damage.

Farmers at this time were working harder to produce crops but were unable to afford equipment and land as prices fell. Therefore, they were unable to produce enough livestock to pay off debts and most ended up losing their land and farms. They were unable to live due to the price drop and the majority went searching for jobs in the city, all consequences caused by the Depression.

The people shown were going to the bank and demanding money from their checking and savings accounts. This occurred as money became highly scarce and people were laid off and wages were lowered. Due to the number of people, there wasn't enough money in the bank to pay them all at once. This shows the panic and urgency for money caused by The Great Depression.

The joblessness in this era led to a lack of money and most couldn't feed themselves or their families. Due to the severity of this issue, 'Penny Restaurants' were created to help those unable to afford food.
