Compare the economic hardships of the Great Depression with today’s economical struggles. You will post a one-paragraph discussion post that compares how the economic crisis leading up to the 1920s is similar to or different from the current economic status in the United States. You will also provide your own evaluation on the effects of the Great Depression and how they might be similar to the effects of economic problems felt by Americans today.

Have you got your dates right?

1919 -- end of World War I
1920s -- boom time -- stock market rose a lot -- many people got rich. Even the farmers had decent weather for growing crops
1930s -- Great Depression. Stock market dropped dramatically in 1929. Many people lost everything. Even the weather was uncooperative as drought hit the Great Plains. The Depression didn't really end until 1942 when we joined in World War II.

I'd plan/outline this paper in two large parts: one for the Great Depression and one for today's economic troubles.

Certainly! To compare the economic hardships of the Great Depression with today's economic struggles, you can start by researching and studying the historical context of the Great Depression. Look for reliable sources such as academic journals, economic textbooks, or reputable news outlets that provide insights into the causes, effects, and responses to the Great Depression. Similarly, you can also search for current economic data, reports, and articles to gain an understanding of the ongoing economic challenges faced by the United States. Look for official government websites like the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Federal Reserve, or the United States Census Bureau for up-to-date information. Comparing these two periods will help you evaluate the similarities and differences between the economic crisis of the 1920s and the current economic status of the United States.
