The Great Depression had a great affect on the people. The Great Depression led to many problems including unemployment. Unemployment was caus ed to some people loosing jobs(got fired), moving to a new area, or just simply they didn’t want to work their. People who lost jobs or needed jobs had to search for places that needed people. They would have to fill out the form and until then had to wait to see if they got the job. Some people came up with new jobs, because they were making new things that people needed to do like the Tennessee Valley Authority. They needed people to do these jobs because they couldn’t malfunction on their own. They needed someone to work on it when it needed to be.

They created the Tennessee Valley Authority to help the Great Depression. They did so to help unemployment. The TVA helped unemployment by creating new jobs and helping people to spread further out across the U.S. People needed to spread out across the United States because, they needed more space to farm or just to live out there and not be crowded in a small area to live. But the problem was they just couldn’t move out there and be all good. They needed to have electricity. So the TVA used the Tennessee River to build Dams. The dams had enough flow in their water to be able to power electricity. So they decided that they could use the dams to make sure that the river didn’t flood. They pretty much could make the river do whatever they wanted it to do.
