During the Great Depression that lasted from the fall of //1929// to the early years of World War II, qualified mechanics, engineers, and teachers were traveling the nation along with common laborers in a desperate search for work. And not a certain job, any work they could possibly get. The people out of work often went hungry, and whenever possible they stood in bread lines for free food or would line up outside soup kitchens, which private organizations set up to give the poor people meals.
