Good point. Still, given "long, hot summer" 1967, assassinations, global tumult, Vietnam war, etc. it seems like one has to realize more was at work, seemingly in much more significant ways than jobs calculus or graphs of unemployment can encompass. So too, now, I would suggest.pic.twitter.com/QVQFXcYlto

This feels more like the 1870s than the 1960s: a nascent (and, for a time, multiracial) labor movement, rising inequality, Black political and economic gains suppressed by violence, corruption in D.C., Pinkertons, etc.
