The 2008 "Great Recession" peaked with an unemployment of 10%.
The Great Depression peaked at 24.9%.

Ignoring the fact that governments would print more money to "stimulate the economy" before shit got that bad, 50% unemployment is failed-state levels of bad. You don't even have a country then, just a rump state pretending to be a country and roaming tribes of bandits beyond the walls.
