With all the "talk" about whether we are in a recession or depression or getting close to it I decided to do some research over the past few days.

I started with the assumption that some people just kept on living normal lives during the great depression. I started from this point of view because of family stories I've heard all my life about my mother growing up during the depression era not knowing there was a depression.
