Of course, the first thing that's wrong is the assertion that this is the highest unemployment rate in 20 years. See http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/series/UNRATE/12/Max

"The U.S. unemployment rate today is at the highest level in 20 years."

Wrong. It was over 10% in the early 1980s and almost 8% in the early 1990s.

6.1% isn't nearly as bad as all the bellyaching would have us believe, and it appears the economy is beginning to create jobs again.
