Looking at the save, I think you're not in as much trouble as you think. Yes, you have 7.5M unemployed pops... But that's just 1.8% of your population. And those unemployed pops are doing pretty well - on Welfare Payment alone they reach SoL 18, and it costs your budget just 880k per week. I think you can afford to significantly reduce the construction capacity, though it's definitely better to that gradually.
Even if you want to avoid unemployment on principle, you can still afford to reduce the construction capacity a bit - assuming every building level costs 450 construction points and 4k employees per level, you catch up to the population growth at ~19.5k Construction Points per week.
Oh, and downsizing Healthcare and Worker Protection institutions would reduce the population growth rate (not by much, but with exponential growth every bit counts).
