U1-U6 is ...
U-1 Persons unemployed 15 weeks or longer, as a percent of the civilian labor force
U-2 Job losers and persons who completed temporary jobs, as a percent of the civilian labor force
U-3 Total unemployed, as a percent of the civilian labor force (official unemployment rate)
U-4 Total unemployed plus discouraged workers, as a percent of the civilian labor force plus discouraged workers
U-5 Total unemployed, plus discouraged workers, plus all other persons marginally attached to the labor force, as a percent of the civilian labor force plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force
U-6 Total unemployed, plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force, plus total employed part time for economic reasons, as a percent of the civilian labor force plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force
NOTE: Persons marginally attached to the labor force are those who currently are neither working nor looking for work but indicate that they want and are available for a job and have looked for work sometime in the past 12 months. Discouraged workers, a subset of the marginally attached, have given a job-market related reason for not currently looking for work. Persons employed part time for economic reasons are those who want and are available for full-time work but have had to settle for a part-time schedule. Updated population controls are introduced annually with the release of January data.

The 16.7% is that the U6 stuff that was making the rounds yesterday?
Astounding!
I saw where some ares of the country have as many as one out of four looking for yobs. Amazing how Marxism can work so quickly.

Dems keep braggiing that Clinton created 24 million jobs and Bush (43) lost jobs.
But these graphs and tables prove them to be liars.

I’m still convinced that the downturn in mid to late 2008 was because the business community saw that Obama was likely to win and it scared them witless.
They were right to be scared, but I refuse to blame the 2008 problems on Bush. I think they were all Obama fear.
