God, freaking 4.6% unemployment and all the media can do is scour the technicalities to find something wrong with the data.
So I'll do you all your journalists a favor, I'll give you a quick little lesson in economics.
The economy is at full employment. That means anybody who wants a job, pretty much has one, and those 4.6% are probably not looking hard enough, are in no particular rush to find a job (but have not given up, thus are still in the labor force), or perhaps are of a specialized skill set and the job in that industry are not as liquid in the labor market.
Anyway, here's a pretty little chart to show you where unemployment has been.
