According the the BLS the current unemployment figures are:
U3 (official): 8.5%
U6: 15.2%

Personally, I believe that if accurate these numbers would indicate that the U3 is much closer the U6 and the U6 is in the 20-30% range.

Every week, every month, every quater, this administrator revises the economic data “downward”. If I was a conspiracy nut, I might think they were cooking the numbers for their own political benefit.
