Anything below 4.5% is considered dangerous. Shortages and inflation will follow.

I took college economics before you were probably born. But as best I recall The Employment Act of 1942 set the definition of "Full Employment" at 4.5%. If you research it you may look under "The Full Employment Act" because most economists don't known that the name was changed in committee to drop the word "Full".

Most economist believe that there is a trade-off between employment and inflation.
