Steep drop in unemployment rate spawns conspiracy

U6 table shows no drop at all

Real employment has flatlined. Turn out the lights as you leave.

No rigging. Its just that U3 is misleading. U6 is the one that matters.

U6 is the only data I look at. The rest is political.

Never understood U-4 Total unemployed plus discouraged workers.

Is there a Federal number that the currently employed call to complain about work?
