Unemployment rate.

Literally close to the lowest unemployment in decades regardless if you use the official unemployment rate or the most expansive criteria for labor force underemployment.

But of course like half of people think we are at historical highs for unemployment.

The red line here, U-6, includes the blue line plus discouraged workers (unemployed people that have stopped looking for jobs but are willing and able to work), marginally attached workers (unemployed workers that have looked for work in the past year), and part time workers who would like to work full-time, but can't due to economic reasons.
