We have huge unemployment.

6% = HUGE..got it.

Yes it IS huge. With our population that means millions. It's the highest it
has been since the depression, which btw was around 10% unemployment.

Actually, that's not accurate.

When President Carter turned over the reigns to President Reagan, unemployment
hit 9.7%. It took two years for Reagan to turn that around, and from there it
steadily went down until a 7.5% spike in 1992.

That's straight from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, http://www.bls.gov
