PASSAGE
The Great Depression was the most severe economic downturn in modern American history. Between 1929 and 1933, unemployment rose from 3% to 25%, meaning one in four Americans was out of work. Banks failed across the country, wiping out people's life savings. Soup kitchens and breadlines became common sights in cities as families struggled to afford food. Industrial production fell by 50%, and many businesses closed permanently, leaving entire communities devastated.
What evidence best supports the statement that the Great Depression was "the most severe economic downturn in modern American history"?
