Nevertheless, America’s gross domestic product fell by 30% between 1929 and 1933; private investment fell by 90%; industrial production decreased by 50%, agricultural prices fell by 60%, and average income declined 36%. Around 9,000 banks (with reserves estimated at more than 7,000 million dollars) closed in the same period. Unemployment, which only affected 3.2% of the active population in 1929, rose to 25% of the working-age population in 1933, in other words, to 14 million people.
