Can anybody give me a concise comparison between how unemployment was measured in the 1930s vs. today? For example, in the early 30s, 13 million Americans were unemployed or almost 25% of the population (of those eligible for work). Today, that figure is around 8 million and the unemployment rate hovers under 6%. Beyond the actual numbers, does anyone have more color on comparing the situations then and now?
