Unemployment increased 163% by 1935 under the New Deal; in Great Britain it was 1.1%
In the fall of 1933, the AAA destroyed 6,200,000 pigs and 220,000 mother sows were slaughtered in the AAA's effort to raise prices at a cost of over $30,000,000. The total live weight of the pigs and sows slaughtered was 443,69.7,348 pounds. Of this only 97,064,159 pounds of food products were obtained-the rest was converted into inedible grease or fertilizer.
