Question restatement: At the worst depths of the Great Depression, approximately ________ percent of workers were unemployed.

Option 60: This is far above the historically documented peak unemployment in the U.S. during the Great Depression. While unemployment was extremely high, 60% is not supported by mainstream estimates and would imply an almost impossibly vast portion of the labor force without work.

Option 25: This choice aligns with the widely cited figure that unemployment peaked around the mid-1920s to early 1930s in the United States, with around one-quarter of the workforce unemployed at the worst point. Economists often reference roughly 25% as the peak unemployment rate during the Great Depression, making this option historically plausible.

Option 40: This would indicate a more severe peak than mainstream historical consensus records. While some measures or estimates can vary by methodology, 40% is higher than the standard widely taught peak and would imply a larger share of the labor force unemployed than most sources indicate.

Option 15: This figure would understate the Depression-era unemployment. By the widely accepted estimates, unemployment exceeded 15% for a significant period and peaked much higher, so 15% is not consistent with the depth of the crisis.

Option 10: This option is far too low to reflect the magnitude of joblessness during the worst years of the Great Depression. Contemporary data and histories consistently show unemployment well above 10% at its peak, so this is not accurate.

In summary, the 25% option best matches established historical estimates of peak unemployment during the Great Depression and is therefore the most accurate choice among the given options.
