Coxey's Army
Coxey's Army marched to Washington DC in 1894 as a protest by unemployed workers. The march took place during the second year of a four-year economic depression in the United States.
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.
National Unemployed Workers' Movement was created in 1921.
National Unemployed Workers' Movement ended in 1946.
During the Great Depression in 1932, the unemployment rate in the United States peaked at 24.9%, which means around 1 in 4 workers were unemployed. This high level of unemployment contributed to severe economic hardship and widespread suffering.
One out of every 4 British workers was unemployed, 40% of the German Labor force was unemployed at that same time, and the Unemployed and homeless filled the streets. The unemployment rate was not that bad everything was fine great Brattain was in a economic bomb.
The goal of the unemployed councils organized by the Communist Party of America was to mobilize and empower unemployed workers to demand relief and protest against economic injustices during the Great Depression. They aimed to bring attention to the needs of the unemployed and to advocate for government assistance and job creation programs.
