Would you ever leave your hometown behind along with everything and everyone you've ever known to start a new life in a different land? The McCourts are a poor Irish family who moves from Manhattan, New York, to their homeland of Ireland to be with their family and to Ireland to be with their family and in hopes of pursuing a better life. The McCourts made the wrong decision when they decided to move back to Ireland because America was just starting to get back on its feet and become more stable, there were a lot of job opportunities and unions coming to Ireland, so there were really no opportunities for change. For example, America was just starting to get back on its feet and become more stable. President Roosevelt began to end America's deep economic depression by closing all the banks. President Roosevelt had to try a number of different ideas to try to get the economy back on its feet. For all those people, basically everyone, who didn't have food, he had created a kind of food line, so that families could be fed so that America wouldn't starve. He wrote Acts for farmers and workers so that they could only have to produce a certain amount of product and still profit from it. Then, after a while, he reopened the banks so that people could deposit money and withdraw only a certain amount of money at a time. Instead of keeping wages high and steady like Hoover he lowered them, so that more jobs could be available and therefore more people could work and be able to provide for their families and what not. Unlike President Hoover, President Roosevelt had compassion for the ordinary citizens of America. In America, in New York, "there were many employment agencies" (Hoobler). Another example is that there were many job opportunities that were becoming available. President Roosevelt took various steps to help America out of its economic depression, when one idea didn't work, he simply moved on to the next. One of the things that President Roosevelt did to increase the number of jobs available was to tidy up some programs and laws so that there could be more jobs available and people could get paid. In the DVD we watched in class, they talked about how President Roosevelt created these job programs and how more and more people started joining unions (The Great Depression).
