- June 3, 2018: Unemployment reaches 18 year low of 3.8%. Statistically, this is considered full employment. 4% is usually considered full employment. When you get that low, that 4% is considered to be the number of people who choose not to work. Or, this is is the percentage of people no one wants to hire. So, basically, we have full employment.
