    Is unemployment too low?

    I remember under George W Bush, he was praised for getting unemployment under 5%, and I was told that that was the magic number for the economy.

    Now, as I understand it, unemployment is 3 point something. Well below 5%. But Republicans are now claiming that nobody is working requiring cuts to unemployment benefits to drive them back to work.

    Did I miss something? It seems that we are well below the economic target for the economy.
