what happened during the great depression?
With the following:
-Jobs, Homes and Families lost
-Number of people committing suicide
-Soup kitchen opened by the church
-International trade, personal income, tax revenues, prices and profits
Just a bit more of information on what happened with that and how it affected everyone that went through the Great Depression.
And don't tell me to Google it. I already tried and I'm not finding the specific answers that I need. Thanks.

12 million people in America lost their jobs in America ONLY!
At the outset of the Depression, Al Capone, the notorious gangster from Chicago, established the first soup kitchen. He started it because he wanted to clean up his shady image. Capone`s kitchen served three meals a day to ensure that everyone who had lost a job could get a meal.
