Tell that to Hoover.
His "Shovel Ready Jobs" didn't do shit for it though. Actually, it wasn't until Repubs took the house that we saw the sharpest decline. So once again, it's all due to the Republicans. It's their fault the Unemployment rate has gone down, those Bastards!!!
What happened to 2010-14 is all his fault?

I can't speak to what values you saw, but unemployment by month is available as far back as 1948.
