For context, the UK unemployment level is pretty low compared to the last 55 years of history.

One million is a lot of people, but that's from a population of ~70 million.

The post you replied to specified young people so 70M is the wrong denominator. The UK currently has far more than 1 million working age adults unemployed and the denominator for that is still less than 70M because Britain has plenty of retirement age adults too.
