Britons actually had very little to be complacent about, snapped Britain's weekly Time and Tide; the U.S. Negro was actually better off.

From a low unemployment rate of 2.6% during the Korean war, unemployment stuck at 4% after the 1954 recession, as the labor force rose by almost 1,000,000 more than employment between mid-1953 and mid-1955. During the 1957-58 recession, the labor force rose 700,000 more than employment, and unemployment never again fell to the 4% prerecession level...
