During the Carter years it was hard to scrape up work. People were laid off and looking for work.
A electric shop I worked at had 274 electricians when Carter got elected, when he left office there was 42, the next year they went belly up. Couldn't make it till Reaganomics kicked in.
Carter had 21% interest rates. I can really see growing the economy with no one working and housing industry shut down!
