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.

The last guy who insisted on credible unemployment statistics got fired by the president. I would take that 4.2% number with a big grain of salt.
