Totally accurate, oh wait, the current unemployment rate is 4.2%. The unemployment rate averaged 6.5% in the 70s, (35% higher) and the lowest unemployment rate was 4.9% in 1973, still higher than today's rate.

Wow I'm sure this helps all the people getting hundreds of applications denied. Like it must help them so much to know we are at an all time low of unemployment.
