BLS Labor unemployment statistics are only relative in their meaning --
https://www.bls.gov/lau/ <state and local areas.

The unemployment rate of Asian MDs in living in Beverly Hills is maybe 0.0001% and inner city minority youth with no advanced education might be 35%

A larger and larger number of working age persons are not in the statistics -- they are part of the under-the-table casual worker pool.

The Unemployed and Underemployed Involuntarily is a much larger percentage. The unemployment rate was 10% in 2010 today it stands at a little less that half that.

Trump would have to reduce that by half again to 2.4% unemployment in 7 years (<if he lasts that long>) using the same statistical methodology for Trump to have any bragging rights -- don't hold your breath for that to happen
