Black tuesday
"I walked home glumly through the city. I had lost my job, I had lost my money, I had nothing with which to support my family. I had nothing to do but to look for work the past few days. However, my efforts had been in vain as there was no jobs to be found. The stock market crash had taken everything from me and I didn't know how we would get by. My wife and children would probably have to work to support the family. It was terrible to put such a burden on them, but the unemployment rate has risen to an unprecedented high. This depression has benefitted women it seems as they are able to find jobs easier than men in this depression. Perhaps my wife will be able to find work as a clerk of textile worker and i'll look for work in the mines. We are facing desperate measures as our money supply is almost out. By the end of the week I fear I will not have enough money to buy food unless I can find some work. I hear some business leaders are trying to help fix the stock market crash. I try not to get too hopeful though. It feels like the government and the rich have abandoned us, the poor. We are alone in this crisis."
