Is it normal to be depressed from unemployment?
It totally is. Depression is really just prolonged sadness. And unemployment makes us sad. Voila. My suggestions: Be picky, but don't float for too long. You don't want big awkward gaps on your resume, even if you are an artist. Try something that no one else is doing. If you can, draw portraits or caricatures. September's the best time for that, since you've got all the fresh college students who still have some of daddy's money left to spend. Put ads online offering your services. Craigslist and Kijiji are free and effective. Start a major project. You don't have to finish it, but at least it's something to do. And it will be your answer when the interviewer's ask "and what did you do in summer 09?" Lay off the pot. It's a depressant. Not that I'm accusing you of anything. But let's face it, you ARE an artist.
How do I get over my depression caused by unemployment?
Look at the world through different lenses. With economic times as they are, there are many individuals who are unemployed. However, this is also one of the greatest opportunities if you are willing to throw yourself all in to new discoveries. You are no longer tied to a clock, so you can create your own business or fill in a gap that you see exists. Creativity, imagination, ingenuity and head-strong characteristics can become your motivation to be something or someone else that you had previous not been able to achieve. If your pursuit in to get back in the working world, you make that your full-time job. If you feel like you could be a start-up businessman, throw all your efforts into making that happen. Overall, the last thing that you should be doing is playing the "woe is me" card; you have talents and abilities that no one else does, so find them, use them, strengthen them and challenge yourself to reach further than you ever have before. (None of this is easy! But it is always worth it.)

During the depression wage cuts and unemployment eventually effected?
Quan, your question is either incomplete or poorly worded and I am not so sure what it is you are looking for. That said, I'll answer: During the worst years of the Depression (1933-1934) the overall jobless rate was 25% (1 out of 4 people) with another 25% taking wage cuts or working part time. The gross national product fell by almost 50%. It was not until 1941, when WWII was underway, that unemployment officially fell back below 10%. These conditions affected all levels of society. Hoovervilles, a popular name for shanty towns built by homeless people during the Great Depression sprang up throughout the nation. They were named after Herbert Hoover, who was President of the United States during the onset of the Depression and widely blamed for it. The term was coined by Charles Michelson, publicity chief of the Democratic National Committee. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooverville http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Depre...
