At the height it reached 25%
30 million
That figure is hard to measure as record keeping was not as effective and detailed as it is today. Four million workers lost their jobs during the first year of the Great Depression. By 1931, 100,000 workers a week lost their job. In 1932, about 25 percent of the workforce was unemployed. At the peak of the Depression, it is estimated that 35-40 percent of the workforce was unemployed. Many workers didn't even bother to try and look for jobs so there is no way to accurately gauge the correct percent of unemployed.
12 million in America only in America...:)
One out of every 4 British workers was unemployed, 40% of the German Labor force was unemployed at that same time, and the Unemployed and homeless filled the streets. The unemployment rate was not that bad everything was fine great Brattain was in a economic bomb.
A million and a half labor workers took part in two thousand strikes that year.
20 000 000 Is any particular date associated with this number or is 20,000,000 simpply where the dart landed? Standing alone, the number is meaningless. A source would also be informative.

7No one KNOWS for certain. The Bureau of Labor Stats estimates from a carefully designed multi-part national survey that just short of 10% of the 153 million folks in the IUS workforce are "unemployed". That means one thing - seeking work but not paid to work this week.There are another 150 million US residents not working, but they are outside the workforce: retirees, children, inmates, active military, disabled, housewives, and former workers not seeking employment.The percent unemployed refers to the percent of workers unemployed, and does not include children and others not considered a part f the work force.
