  3. "lasted until the late 30’s or 40’s."?????????

    "or" ??? what do you mean "or" it cant be or there has to be a set time period. I mean you could have said "till about the 40's", but not "or"

    "even today we you The Great Depression to show just how bad the economy can get"????????

    "unemployment range" "International rade" I believe you mean "rate", not "range" or "rade".
