Unemployment in the united states

Does anyone have a chart that recors the history of unemployment in the united states? One that will show me the rate of unemployment for every year. I am especially interested to see what the rate of unemployment was in the 19th century.

I’ve seen this chart before and I think 1890 is typically the furthest it goes back. But anything before WWII is unofficial. Also, I’m not certain, but I think if unemployment were measured the same way now as it was pre-WWII it would be about 16%-17%.
