The population in the US in 1930 was 40% of what it is today - surely the gravity of job loss numbers is related to the size of the working population...half a million job losses is massive for Australia, not nearly as serious in India. The same can be said for the US in 1930 and the US in 2009. Why are comparative job losses reported without any indication of the relative change between then and now.
