the unemployment rates back then are interesting
in the 1920s it was between 6-11% then the depression hit and unemployment went to 29% in 1932
we are down 5.2% now to get to 1932 equivalent unemployment would have to fall another 24% by the end of next year.
a lot of people commited suicide and slept in the domain
