My youngest, 42, semi-skilled in spray painting, welding, and forklift operator for 15 years, lost his job when the steel metal shelving factory closed during the lockdown, can only find PT. His wife was in the 2nd year of nursing school, same thing. They have a 6-year-old. My eldest is 52, had a TIA OCT 2022, QUAD BYPASS Mid 2023, he will never work again. No DSSI CASE WORKER HAS BEEN ASSIGNED IN NEARLY 15 MONTHS.

We are 75/83, not physically able to do more than take care of the house and ourselves. What little we had saved is being eaten by Biden's Depression. And he's full of S if he thinks we are buying his failed EV cars.

106.4 Million U.S. Adults Do Not Have A Job Right Now

Unemployment in the Great Depression

The Great Depression was the worst economic period in history. In the United States, unemployment rose to 25% at its highest level during the Great Depression. Literally, a quarter of the country's workforce was jobless.

Finally, poor government policies worsened unemployment. In 1930, the US Federal Reserve temporarily raised interest rates to try and protect the value of the dollar and the gold standard.

This was a counter-intuitive policy, but highlights a problem of the gold standard and trying to protect value of the currency – rather than provide monetary stimulus. If the government had instead lowered interest rates, it would have encouraged spending and helped promote the economy.

This number translated to 15 million unemployed Americans in 1933. As the Depression spread across the globe, some countries saw unemployment as high as 33%.
