=The Great Depression and the New Deal=

=== The Great Depression was a big economic depression and it occurred between 1910-1960. During the Great Depression their were many significant problems that occurred. One of those problems was unemployment. Unemployment swept the nation and caused hundreds of thousand of americans to be left jobless without an outlook on their future or at least a glimpse on what will become of it. During FDR’s presidency he did many things to help decrease the unemployment drastically. A few of the many things that he did was the PWA, NRA and the Payroll Act. ===

=== The PWA, full name Public Work Administration, was created in 1933 by congress which granted $3 billion to build large public work projects. The NRA was passed in1933 during the great depression. It was part of FDR’s New Deal and the goal was to help stimulate the economy by creating a national public works program. It allowed unemployed americans to work on public projects to make money. The Payroll Act helped the government pay for things that others couldn’t. It made the government more money so that they could make more ideas to help fund programs that put people to work. ===

=== Their were many causes of the Great Depression. One of those causes was the ratio of supply and demand. This played a huge role on the creation of the Great Depression. This is because companies made more of a surplus of products that were going to be bought and or needed. This caused a giant drop in loss of product value and the prices of products declined drastically because of the amount of products being made in a given amount of time. Another cause of the Great Depression was the over-investment in products by bankers and industrialists. This led to a sudden drop in consumption and investment spending by hundreds of people. One the panic set in many people thought that they could avoid further losses by not investing or having anything to do with the markets. Therefore, it resulted in a major market crash. It took a while to re-cooperate from the huge downfall but eventually we were able to recover and learn from our mistakes that many people made because of their hast to fix their financial problems. ===

=== Overall, he did reduce the unemployment rate but their was still americans that were still unemployed. Although the New Deal Policies were not able to help every american they did make a significant impact on lowering unemployment and poverty. ===

=Reflection=

I used a pretty short process to create my video. Firstly I got all of my information and got all my pictures. Then I organized and edited my information that I got on the Great Depression and unemployment. After that I recorded myself talking about that subject. Then I went to I-movie and edited and got my video constructed. Some challenges that I faced was that I would like to have more time to work on it next time.
