In the early 1900s, many new factories were built in the United States. By the 1920s, new items like cars, washing machines, and radios were available for people to buy. People also had more money to spend than ever before. By the 1930s, however, the Great Depression hit. People were out of jobs, had little money, and could not afford to buy the same expensive items. The factories had to cut back production once they realized people were no longer buying.
