How do you reduce the unemployment rate when it is higher than the natural rate in the short term?

Answer:
By putting some of the taxpayer's money back in the hands of the people and for good measure getting them to build infrastructure with it or something. The truth is that it doesn't really matter whether they work for it or not as long as they spend it. Just that will help keep people in jobs until the mess sorts itself out and everything starts operating properly again.
