Depends on the demographic. For instance, young black males are over 50%. That’s right, only one out of 2 have any kind of job. The average is probably upper teens to lower twenties.

My dad said that during the depression successful salesman’s families got to eat and most everyone else nearly starved. His family of eight sometimes had a potato to eat. I don’t mean a potato each, I mean ONE potato! When he was able to attend school his “lunch” was some corn bread with lard on top. We have no idea how good we have it now.
