Today we had a discussion day about the Great Depression and the Stock Market Crash. Mr. Bruns explained some of the reasons why the stock market crashed via some overheades that he put up during class. The Federal Resverve system rose interest rates which caused most people to stop buying expensive goods and services which also led to a higher unemplayment rate. After the Stock Market crashed, the highest unemployment rate was 25% and now a days during our recession, the highest unemployment rate is 10%
