Re: "Well now I think you are making apple-orange comparisons." How so? Re: 25% in the Great Depression didn't include "discouraged workers". No, my friend, you are wrong about that. In the Great Depression all people who were able-bodied but not able to find work were counted as "unemployed". It was not until MUCH, MUCH later (seventies? eighties?) that the government statistics began to STRIP OUT the so-called "discouraged" workers from the main unemployment count, and put them into a different category.
