And EVERYONE was employed in ‘69 - either making stuff or running through the jungle with their M-16!
Anyone who thinks the REAL unemployment rate is as low as it was in ‘69 is dreaming. In those days engineering departments were often staffed with high school graduates who carried business cards with the title engineer on them. I know because I was one of those high school graduates. I was twenty five and I had a Navy electronics certificate but my job was not in electronics, I had ZERO college. People who had engineering degrees were just not available so they trained people on the job.
