Unemployment is holding steady at about 5.5%, the lowest it has been in nearly seven years. Despite this fact, however, the vast majority of Americans still see unemployment as a serious problem facing the nation. A recent Economist/YouGov poll found that over 85% of those surveyed believe the issue of unemployment to be at least a somewhat serious problem for the United States, while not a single American surveyed believes it to not be a problem.
