Those previous recessions were marked by high unemployment, right? But currently we have record low unemployment. Is the high unemployment on its way, or is this something new?

I guess it depends on how you define unemployment.

Over half of of employed people nowadays don't make enough to pay their fundamental bills and/or live paycheck to paycheck and have to take up huge debt to make it every month.

so while they technically have a "job"...is it really if it doesnt cover their bills?

classifying something as a job is extremely bullshitable.
