" The Great Depression of the 1930 s was by far the greatest economic calamity in U.S. history. In 1931, a year before Franklin Roosevelt was elected president, unemployment in the United States had soared to an unprecedented 16,3 percent. In human terms, that meant more than eight million Americans who wanted jobs couldn't find them. By 1939, after nearly two full periods of Roosevelt and his New Deal, unemployment had not declined, but had risen to 17.2 percent. Almost nine and a half million Americans were unemployed."
