They would be saying how less than 5% of the country was unemployed.

How did they measure unemployment then, and how do they measure it now?

Well now they only measure it as a "recently signed up for unemployment benefits" percentage. The vast majority of unemployed people aren't included, it is how they keep the figure down so low.
