I don't know how widely known this is: we have more unemployed people in the US now (about 15 million officially, but actually more) that were unemployed in the year of highest unemployment in the Great Depression, 1933 (about 13 million).
We need a serious jobs plan - not more half-measures like the 2009 stimulus. Yes, it probably save the economy from falling into the abyss, but it was clearly inadequate, and we need more than another inadequate plan now.

...however, the overall population has grown ridiculously in that same time period so the actual percentage of unemployed is probably still far less.
