Inflation is around 10% per year.
The Burrito Index: Consumer Prices Have Soared 160% Since 2001
Shadow Stats and some other economic sources support the high realistic number you cite.
Remember, the US labor dept has changed the way they measure and define unemployment several times since the mid-80’s.
Both RINOs and demoncrats benefited from underestimating unemployment numbers, as NAFTA, and other “free” trade ship-jobs-offshore schemes were implemented in the early 1990’s, on.

Our real inflation rate is about 7%.
