"the longest and worst period of unemployment in modern times" says the world book encyclopedia. people lost jobs overnight. Even college graduates had a hard time finding jobs straight out of college. Fact: in 1933 the unemployment rate was 25%. during this time, more then 200,000 young people drifted around the u.s. looking for a job. people who kept jobs took large paycuts. the average wage cut was 18%.
