The economic silent depression is a non-validated time period that is compared to the Great Depression. Comparisons reflect how the US is currently suffering from an economic shift that is arguably more severe than that faced during the Great Depression. One of the factors used to make this claim is the comparison of wage to cost of living ratio. It is noted that there is a greater disparity in average salary and cost of living than what was seen then, although it has been noted in history as one of the worst economic downturns of all time.
