I am not sure what we are in. I graduated from college in 1981 and we had 8/9% unemployeement. Paul Harvey came over the radio to remind us that it was not all gloom and doom like most reporters were making it out to be. He re-stated their news as "we had 92% of Americans working"...a good point to think about. I did know that it differed from area to area back then as it does today.
I hope that it gets better for those directly affected very soon.
