Original Note:
Tweet claims "3.6% unemployment—under 4% for the longest stretch in over 50 years!" BLS data clearly indicates 02/2018 - 08/2020 (31 months) as the longest stretch of sub 4% unemployment in the past 50 years. Annual data found here: https://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsaat01.pdf Full year-wise data: https://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsa2018.pdf https://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsa2019.pdf https://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsa2020.pdf
