3.8% is near historic lows.
More importantly: "full employment" doesn't mean unemployment is literally 0% - in fact, an unemployment rate of 0% would be actively bad, because it indicates that people are unable to leave their jobs (even temporarily) to seek better opportunities or life changes - usually because inflation is too high.
