Unemployment is particularly an odd one to put in there. Nobody is complaining about macro unemployment due to Canada or tariffs. Tariffs aren't causing serious problems so far. In fact pretty much every report indicates they're helping the US, with China eating the bulk of the cost up to now. US steel companies are booming for the first time in decades. Steel & aluminum tariffs are also not harming the economy yet.[1]

Employment is increasingly setting records on almost everything. Check out the job demand boom on durable goods manufacturing [2]:
