> * Employment was 10x better than today, and not by today's way of counting (which don't count group x y and z)

I'm pretty sure we count unemployment the same way. Those groups are just larger now because of age, education and economic malaise.

There were a lot of millennials at the time. Still are, it's just that they're pushing 40 instead of 14.

Groups that are excluded from unemployment statistics aren't a specific generation. They are retirees, students, people who gave up on seeking a job, etc.
