Probably more so. Hussein has had nearly four years to work his socialist magic and unemployment is really much higher now that when he started. He has his minions at the Dept of Labor "massage" the statistics, but the only reason that they are not double digits in the 20+ % range is that after exhausting all avenues people just give up. The trend is to become "disabled" - I'm not sure how you do that, but I am sure that it is about the only option after exhausting unemployment benefits.
“The trend is to become “disabled” - I’m not sure how you do that”
Very simple. You set up a doctor’s appointment to discuss your “disabling” back pain.
You show up at the doctor’s office with a large envelope filled with cash.
You tell the doctor how your back pain makes it impossible to do your job (if you have an office job then the pain makes it impossible to sit for any length of time and pain killers make you incoherent). At the end of the appointment you “forget” the envelope and leave it in the examination room and the doctor fills out your medical disability forms and sends them into the government.
See, it’s not that hard.
