Dow hits 11,000. Unemployment @ 5.2%. And we still are in the Depression!

It all depends how you measure the unemployment. By some measures the unemployment during the Great Depression was close to zero.

and just how drunk did you have to get back then to see a bread line and say, "Yep, no unemployment here!" Unemployment was close to 25%.

Last I heard, unemployment was 4.7%. Of course, if you just have to look for the bad side, employment is only 95.3%.
