by Charlie Daniels
Correction

The single was credited to the Charlie Daniels Band, not to Charlie Daniels as a solo artist.

Full reasoning

Contemporary trade sources credit "In America" to The Charlie Daniels Band. A Billboard chart listing for the single shows "IN AMERICA — The Charlie Daniels Band" on Epic 9-50888, and a Cash Box ad likewise calls it "The Charlie Daniels Band's smash single". The official Charlie Daniels Band store also describes "In America" as a top-ten hit for the band. So labeling the single as being by Charlie Daniels is inaccurate; the release was credited to the band.

Claim
the simultaneous double-digit inflation, unemployment, and prime interest rates
Correction

Inflation and prime rates were in double digits around 1980, but U.S. unemployment was not.

Full reasoning

This overstates how bad unemployment was in the late 1970s/around 1980. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports annual average unemployment rates of 5.8% in 1979 and 7.1% in 1980—well below double digits. BLS also shows 9.7% in 1982, which means even the 1982 annual average had not yet reached 10%. So the phrase "double-digit ... unemployment" is inaccurate in this context.
