Unemployment figures were not as accurate in the 1930s as they are today. Plus a lot of men pretended to have jobs so as not to embarrass their family and thus were not counted among the unemployed. Also, the men who "rode the rails" could have been counted in more than one state. Some historians think the unemployment rate went as high as 40 percent during the worst years of the Depression. Here are some figures for unemployment:

1930--3.2 percent

1931--15.9 percent

1932--23.6 percent

1933--24.9 percent

1934--21.7 percent

1935--20.1 percent

1936--16.9 percent

1937--14.3 percent

1938--19.0 percent

1939--17.2 percent
