What’s the U6 rate?

What’s the number now for those who have dropped out of the workforce?

The U-6 includes those looking for work, those that have given up looking and those that have been forced into part time work. The widely reported U-3 considers everyone employed that work as little as 1 hour per week. Ridiculous.

BTW, the U-6 (real unemployment) came in at 8.11%. The lowest it has been since August of 2001.
