Though unemployment during the Great Depression was widespread, it was higher in some parts of the United States than in others.
An economic historian creates a table based on existing unemployment data from the Depression, while a cultural historian interviews people who were unemployed at the time. What information would the cultural historian receive that the economic historian would not? A. The level of unemployment in each state B. The names of specific people who were unemployed C. Years when unemployment increased or decreased in different states D. Stories about the experience of being unemployed
A cultural historian would get, by interviewing unemployed people during the Great Depression, B. The names of specific people who were unemployed and D. Stories about the experience of being unemployed.
This is because such historian would be doing microhistory, gathering information and stories about people directly from the source, while the economic historian would be doing macro-history, not paying attention to individuals.
The correct answer is D. Stories about the experience of being unemployed
Explanation:
When trying to understand a certain event or phenomenon there are different ways to approach the event and get the information. In the case of the economic historian this historian tries to understand the Great depression by using a chart and probably numbers and statistic which is a type of quantitative data that allows historians to understand events as they occurred, this means in this case the historian can know the rate of unemployment in each state or city and the way this changed. On the other hand, the cultural historian aims at understanding data from a qualitative approach or from the experiences of people and because of this, this historian uses interviews.
This means the type of information the cultural historian would have and not the economic historian is "stories about the experience of being unemployed" because this is qualitative data and can be gathered through interviews, but never through the statistics, numbers, and chart used by the economic historian.
