"unemployment" refers to the monthly unemployment rate published by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

The highest ever recorded monthly US unemployment rate was in April 2020, at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, at 14.7%.

The BLS statistic referenced counts the percent of the "active workforce" unemployed.

I see two broad brush possibilities:

1) UBI comes into effect and some number of people now in the "acti ve workforce " drop out

2) economic collapse, at least in US
