Allow me to repeat: spikes, not fluctuates slightly higher.

1948, 1953, 1960, 1974, 1980, 2001, and 2008 all fit what I said.

1957, 1970, 1981, and kind-of 1990 are the exceptions.

As for the extended low unemployment... If you ignore the covid anomaly (as most people seem to since it wasn't a natural market reaction but caused by lockdowns), we're at the same 3 years of the previous maximum duration.
