Genial fill someone in on and this enter helped me alot in my college assignement. Say thank you you on your information.
I came upon your post by chance. What is your source for these numbers? The US Bureau of Labor starting measuring unemploymnet rates by actual enumearation only after 1948. So numbers for the years you have listed are pure guesstimates. Moreover your numbers show that unemplyment rates went from 4.2% in 1930 to 15.9% in 1931. Can we really believe that?
