We will never forget

Few people realize that during the last recession in 2008, the unemployment numbers for men was similar to the Great Depression: "30% of all men in the USA did not work for two years" The big difference was that in 1929, there were few women in the labor market, and in 2008, women's unemployment was MUCH less dramatic, so the TOTAL unemployment figures were around 10%. But the 30% of men whose lives were absolutely destroyed, will never forget. We will never forget.
