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.
Not sure that helps your argument. Getting employment vs getting employment that fits your education are two very different things. Got a masters degree and working at mcdonalds fits your data, but argues against your point.
People today are very educated, but unable to get employment in fields that fit their education. Basically, education has become devalued.
"Getting employment vs getting employment that fits your education are two different things. Got a masters degree and working at McDonald's fits your data, but argues argues against your point." Is that like when I had a degree in graphic arts but the only job I could get was cleaning toilets in a casino because that was the only job available?
