Your response is completely incorrect. I put "EVER" in there just to see if folks could argue legitimately.
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, as it's measured today, only goes back to 1948.
1948 - end of year unemployment rate is at 4.0%
The 1950's were prosperous
1982 - First time in recorded history unemployment hit double digits. (10.8%)
2002 - War of Terror, unemployment at 6%.
2006 - unemployment 4.4%, Obama is President, and our economy is in growth.
2008 - Unemployment 7.3% and GDP 0.1% and Inflation 0.1%. That is worse than the market crash of 1929.
2009 - 2015, unemployment never drops below 5%.
I completely realize events factor in.
