5% unemployment

The U6 portion of the BLS employment situation summary puts unemployment at 9%. It is also interesting to note that people working in a family business but earning no money are counted as employed in the household survey, even if their hours are minimal.

Yep, there's always a dark lining somewhere in that silver cloud. I can't remember quite where, but I've heard this is the worst economy since Herbert Hoover.
