Speaking from here in Houston Galveston area, things never were too bad. I knew one other family who were foreclosed on but they were financially illiterate and wasteful spenders. Neither had amazing jobs and they both drove 50 thousand dollar cars so they got what they deserved. My wife works for a subcontractor of Nasa in Clear Lake and they laid of a few but most got new jobs.

Unemployment nationwide during the actual Great Depression was around 30% nationwide. We barely brushed 10% this time.
