I have found that the best way to counter unemployment is raising wages and reducing taxes. At the end of the Argeiphontes contest unemployment was 50%, but there was no unrest, people were pouring in and popularity was high. Wages were very high and taxes were low.

I actually went back and replayed the last year with lower unemployment (achieved by building more artisans and tireme warfs, and calling rabble) to see if people would come faster. This time finished with 19% unemployment, but improvement in population was marginal (about 20 people in 9000)
