Unemployment has always been a lagging indicator. That is we enter a recession and 6 months to a year later unemployment goes way up. Once we leave the recession it usually takes 6 months to a year for the jobs to recover.
Also supply side economics is BS. If we cut taxes we would be running even larger deficits and the people who got the tax cuts would just pocket the money. If you want to use tax dollars to create jobs then you need to create the jobs yourself. If we want jobs to recover now then the government needs to create a lot of jobs. But this would require money and that is something many don't approve of.
