First, I am not endorsing WikiAnswers, but I just wanted a quick answer. So weather the actual unemployment rate in 1939 was 17% or 12%, or even if you don't trust the number - my point is that data will show that times were pretty tough in 1939 even though better than 1930. And still far worse than today.

{added} On that "ill educated" remark, I won't expect an apology or any actual evidence proving my points to be incorrect. That would be expecting far too much.
