re: Honestly, did you ever think you would see a 3.5% unemployment rate?

People working two or three jobs to survive skews that number greatly.
I agree with your premise, but not your insinuation. This has always been the case that the economy will have a certain percentage of jobs paying less than a living wage. Unless you can show me that that percentage has increased during the Trump years, then a 3.5% rate is vastly superior to what he inherited. Trying to make this argument to downplay the improvements under Trump is as foolish as making the argument that a greater number of jobs were added in Obama's first years. Of course there were, the economy was recovering from a devastating recession. It is easier to add jobs in that situation than it is to add them at full employment.
