Values for familism declined, and individualism began to rise. Control over one's labor was lost to the organization. Family time and activities were dictated by one's work schedule. During the Great Depression, many Americans lost their jobs. This negatively impacted the families' ability to survive. Families split up to seek out employment. F.D.
