Significantly less. Wanted a job? Walk through any neighborhood being built with a tape measure in your pocket. You'd have a job doing something before you made it past the 4th house. Had a car? Delivering food paid enough to afford a modest apartment.

"Able to work and wanting a job you would like" probably meant 30 % unemployment is realistic, though?

Half the population is female and doing much unpaid labor, so I find this kind of numbers convincing.

Oh, I just noticed: And unpaid labour, pun intended.

"would like" is pretty wild in this context. The number of individuals who have had a job they truly enjoyed is a rounding error in recorded history. I'll save us both the indignity of repeating tired boomer tropes around modern attitudes towards work.

It really would, most boomers seem to also think living alone while not having a girlfriend is very odd and shocking (still). Most worldviews do not and will not add up to reality.

A popular comedy skit in the '90s was around the notion that people had more jobs than they wanted.

1999 was basically ~full employment in the US. Most people who wanted to work had a job.
