This lasted from 1929 to 1939. It began after the stock market crash in October, 1929, which wiped out millions of investors.]]> 2019-12-12 15:34:16 UTC https://padlet.com/3734881/96f8lg4do05o/wish/423325583 3734881 https://padlet.com/3734881/96f8lg4do05o/wish/423335504 Available jobs included working as servants/clerks, working in textile factories and positions with one of the railroad companies. Jobs were available, but, with so many people unemployed, there was a fierce competition for steady employment.]]> 2019-12-12 15:46:37 UTC https://padlet.com/3734881/96f8lg4do05o/wish/423335504 3734881 https://padlet.com/3734881/96f8lg4do05o/wish/423476446 Even though this time was sorrowful for kids and adults, they managed to have fun!
Children only had to pay a DIME to get a full movie, free treats, and a whole variety of clips & Bonus scenes! That may seem like SUPER CHEAP today, but that was expensive during the Depression.
Couples took part in a dance competition where if you can dance the longest without getting tired, you get paid!
Children & teenagers, though this is dangerous, they sat on a tree branch from the highest tree they could find and sit on that until the tree branch snapped off. Whoever wins get a bunk load of money! The winners also even sold their autographs for money.
Children took part of a derby competition where they make their own derby karts out of recycled resources! This was a profit-free event that kids of all ages can take part in!]]> 2019-12-12 19:00:05 UTC https://padlet.com/3734881/96f8lg4do05o/wish/423476446 3734881 https://padlet.com/3734881/96f8lg4do05o/wish/423491716 2019-12-12 19:19:12 UTC https://padlet.com/3734881/96f8lg4do05o/wish/423491716 3734881 https://padlet.com/3734881/96f8lg4do05o/wish/423493199 2019-12-12 19:21:15 UTC https://padlet.com/3734881/96f8lg4do05o/wish/423493199 3734881 https://padlet.com/3734881/96f8lg4do05o/wish/423504379 This was a voluntary public work relief program that operated from 1933 to 1942 in the United States for jobless men.

I am in a state of turmoil right now, my family is jobless, and I have to work 24/7 to help them out.  I'm able to go to the movie theater for a dime, but still...
That may seem like nothing to you, but to me, that's offending. That is very expensive. I'm only going to the movies because I did a good job helping my family.
I hope your generation is WAY better than mine, and just if I get to see that generation, I'm probably going to be old, or dead. I hope you don't have to go through my time...
                                                                                    Sincerely,
