Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Black women were often affected more than black men during the Depression because white families could not afford domestic help during the Depression, or could get it at almost no cost at all, since some black women were so desperate. This led to a decline in the demand for jobs typically held by black women, such as domestic and agricultural work, which further intensified their economic struggles.
