For some of Vault&#39;s readers, that&#39;s probably a joke, having not yet been brought into the world at that time.  For others, there may be visions of college (beer pong, Around the World night, or wall-bouncing, anyone?). And for the Baby Boomers, perhaps memories of achieving some level of prestige at work, a first huge deal, a move across the country to embark on a new career opportunity. &lt;p&gt;By one measure, we are approaching 1982, what some say was the low point of the ugliest post-war recession to date.  That measure is an alternative to the narrowly-defined &quot;unemployment,&quot; a more comprehensive jobless rate that also considers workers who have had to settle for part-time employment (among other adjustments).  These days, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics compiles a similar &quot;unemployment plus underemployment&quot; stat.  Back in the day, it didn&#39;t, but a &lt;i&gt;New York Times&lt;/i&gt; reporter was kind enough to  calculate one.  With the help of the BLS, he figured the amount for 1982 at 16.3 percent -- and at 14.1 percent currently.  The BLS estimate is 14.8 percent.&lt;p&gt;The rates are sure to climb -- if analyst predictions are correct, we&#39;re in for at least several more months of pain. So are you ready for a prolonged period of depressing economic nostalgia? Perhaps spinning(?) some Adam &amp; the Ants will help...  &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;em&gt;--Posted by Todd Obolsky, Vault News &amp; Commentary&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
