Possible (new) GREAT Depression Signs:

Gerard Jackson; BrookesNews.Com's economics editor says:

...About five months before the October (1929)crash, the US economy was already going into a depression: manufacturing was slowing down, output was falling, layoffs rising and capital utilization was declining.

Hmmm. Let's reformat that:

• Manufacturing was slowing down
• Output was falling
• Layoffs rising and capital utilization was declining.,
  

Okay, that's a start. Add to the 25% unemployment suggsted by Robert Reich.
