Thanks for posting! I had seen comparisons like this to other recessions, but this is the first time I’ve seen comparison figures for the Great Depression. It’s pretty alarming.
GADZ! Gramps is probably rolling over in his grave...the ground is probably shaking. I don’t think so. 80% of the people who have been laid off are men...it’s a sexist depression...besides, Gramps used to work for the Pennsy Railroad. During a flood after he went back to work in 1936, they tied him to the cow-catcher to push debrise off the track so the train could get through. OSHA would have had a fit. The EPA would be fining the railroad. The Unions would have said it was not his job... There is too much government today for it to be like the Great Depression of the 1930’s. Back then, people did have character.
