Without joining either side of this argument I'd like to point out that 6.5% today is similar to 12-13% during the great depression due to the fact that 1 person losing their job generally meant one family out of work while 1 person losing their job today generally means one half of one family losing their job.

No it isn't scientifical but it is worth thinking about when comparing raw numbers.
