But unemployment is a more easily measurable metric.

Let me put the question to you: what metrics do you use to verify whether elite overproduction is happening or not?

My point is that any such metric may turn out to have been wildly off in a post-ASI world. Ten years ago or even today it may have seemed fine to educate a large part of the population for ”elite” jobs, but after ASI that may instead be looked at as a massive overproduction of ”elites”.
