During the "Great Depression," 94% of Americans made less than $5,000 a year. That is a horrible salary/earning per year an you would not survive todays economy on your own unless you were living under someone elses roof. "Wall Street," was important to American business because it was successful and was prosperous to American Economy. Investors invested into stock(getting a share of a business) and can trade/sell stocks to make even more money. If the stock market crash did not cause the Great Depression, it would be: Tariffs, war debt, crisis in the farm sector, easy credit(farmers go into debt with credit), and unequal income. Todays society goes through what we call the Great Recession. It somewhat relates to the Great Depression because people have been losing jobs, prices on goods are still high, but, you can invest into stocks to make some money. There are numerous stocks you can invest to and become wealthy from.
