The great depression had an interesting effect on "poor people." As the stock market crashed, those who bought on margin and could not pay debts had to sell assets like a home or car. Just like in all depressions and recession, inflation goes down. This means that the value of a dollar goes up. Many people lost homes and jobs because of lowered production. This cause more people to become "poor" and widened the gap between the rich and poor. In short, it did not affect poor people as much as rich people because poor people did not get hit by the Stock Market crash.
