The Microeconomics of Depression Unemployment

Robert Margo

No 18, NBER Historical Working Papers from National Bureau of Economic Research, Inc

Abstract: Microeconomic evidence reveals that the incidence and duration of unemployment in the 1930s varied significantly within the labor force. Long-term unemployment, which was especially high by historical standards, may have been exacerbated by federal relief policies.
