People that supported the Nazi party were motivated by economic

interests.
The majority of people that supported and joined the Nazi party were not
motivated by economic interests because the majority of people that joined the
Nazi party were just workers (31.5% were workers and 21% were WCW's) and
were not professionals in economics, unemployed, business owners, and other
types of people that wished to make money. Since the majority of people that
joined the Nazi party were workers (31.5%) and white-collar workers (21%) that
would have been making money from their work already, they would have
joined the Nazi party because they wanted to make more money. I think the
reason that these workers joined the Nazi party is because of the idea of
unemployment was something that scared the workers into joining the Nazi
party. As the data shows unemployment rates were rising very rapidly during the
late 1920's and early 1930's meaning that Workers in Germany may have
started getting scared that they may lose their job/jobs sometime in the future
and would become unemployed. Although, Hitler and the Nazi party promised
that if they voted them into power then they would find a way to reduce the
rapidly growing unemployment rates by creating more jobs. This caused many
German workers to start supporting the Nazi party because they knew that if
Hitler reduced the unemployment rates then their jobs would be secure and

We can clearly see that people voted for the Nazi party out of
economic interest. In 1933 the majority of voters for the Nazi
party were workers and white collar workers, making up 50
percent of all voters. This supports the idea that voters were
motivated by economic interests as before 1933, unemployment
in Germany had risen up to 30 percent as Germany was sufering
from the Great Depression, this would have created distrust in
democracy and motivated people to vote for the Nazi party.
When Hitler was voted chancellor in 1933 he promised to revive
Germanys economy which attracted more people.

economic interests.
From the data provided it can concluded that the majority of Nazi
voters were motivated by economic interests from 1930-1933. Over
50% of Nazi membership was held by middle and lower middle class
citizens. The largest percentage are the workers at 31% followed by
white collar workers 21%. Both of these occupations do not provide a
extraordinary income, meaning that these people would have been
suffering the economic issues prevalent at that time. These economic
hard times were the catalyst behind the increase in Nazi supporters.
This can also be concluded from the comparison between the rise in
the unemployment percentage, and Nazi seats increase from 19301933. In 1928 the unemployment percentage was 8.5% and the Nazi
party had 12 seats (2.6%). The unemployment percentage later rose to
14% in 1930 and then eventually to 29.9% in 1932. IThe rise of
unemployment signifies the existence of economic issues at that time.
As unemployment and economic issues grew, so did the Nazi party
which had 107 seats by 1930. The increase shared by the Nazi party
and unemployment tied with the high percentage of middle class
supporters, clearly displays that Nazi supporters were motivated by
