The U-3 unemployment rate is the "standard" rate.

The U-6 unemployment rate counts those who want to work but have not looked recently plus those who work part time but want full time.

Of the 54.7 million working-age Americans not holding a job, more than half (27.7 million) have no education beyond high school.
