From 2000 to 2008 the U6 unemployment rate hovered between 7% and 10%; once employment went all to hell at the beginning of the Obama regime, it’s been between 16% and 10%. It has been heading consistently down, but still has really not gotten near the average level of U6 unemployment under Bush:

Don’t forget Obama’s lackeys also moved the bar for reporting their figures. I have posted here for five years the REAL rate is actually 33% to 40%.
