Answer:

Lasting from May 1937 until June 1938, this recession was America's third-worst downturn of the 20th century. With real GDP dropping 10 percent and unemployment hitting 20 percent, it was less severe than the recessions of 1920 and 1929. The 1937 recession occurred during the recovery from the Great Depression.
