Predict how companies or industries similar to the one that you worked at during internship would have fared during the Great Depression. Would your company have thrived or sunk? Why?

When I thought about my internship site during the Great Depression, I didn't believe it would survive economically. There are many visitors at the Zoo, and that's where the zoo gets there money (through regular visitors and tourists). However, the tourists that would go there would not be there during the Great Depression since people didn't have the money to travel. Also, with less money, there would be less employees, and with less employees, there would be less funds for the animals and whatnot.
I thought about this all, but then realized that the Zoo was founded before the Great Depression, so it must have survived somehow.
