The Great Depression had a significant impact on many groups of men in various ways. Here are a few examples:

1. Unemployed Men: The Great Depression led to massive unemployment rates, and men were disproportionately affected. Many men lost their jobs and were unable to find work for long periods, which caused financial strain, stress, and a sense of hopelessness.

2. Farmers: Many farmers were already struggling before the Depression, but the combination of droughts and low commodity prices made things even worse. Many farmers lost their land and their livelihoods, which caused immense stress and hardship.

3. Factory Workers: Many factories shut down or cut back on production, which meant that many men who worked in these industries were laid off. This led to widespread unemployment and economic uncertainty for many families.

4. Breadwinners: The idea of male breadwinners being responsible for providing for their families was prevalent during the Depression. The loss of jobs and income disrupted this traditional gender role, which caused significant stress and psychological distress for men who were unable to provide for their families.

5. The Homeless: Homelessness rose dramatically during the Depression, and many men found themselves living on the streets. They faced dangers such as health problems, violence, and starvation, which had psychological and physical impacts.
