According to the Gallup daily poll, the non seasonally adjusted unemployment rate is 7.1%.
With the above table taken from the BLS, SEE HERE:
http://www.bls.gov/lau/stalt.htm
We are closer to about 12% unemployment ( or 1 in 8 people in this country ), which is MORE THAN DOUBLE the official unemployment rate.
