The unemployment rate is deceiving. You need to evaluate unemployment against the rate at which a democracy is sustainable, and that rate is far less than 100%. If unemployment were to rise to someplace in the high low-high 30% range, the type of democracy and free market economy we've enjoyed becomes very likely to degrade.
