The introduction of movie soundtracks in 1929 put thousands of pit musicians out of work almost overnight, just months before the start of the Great Depression.
The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra (and probably others as well, but I know the BPO's history particularly well) got its start from a bunch of unemployed musicians getting together in 1930 just to preserve their chops.
