That figure is hard to measure as record keeping was not as effective and detailed as it is today. Four million workers lost their jobs during the first year of the Great Depression. By 1931, 100,000 workers a week lost their job. In 1932, about 25 percent of the workforce was unemployed. At the peak of the Depression, it is estimated that 35-40 percent of the workforce was unemployed. Many workers didn't even bother to try and look for jobs so there is no way to accurately gauge the correct percent of unemployed.
