It’s the other side of the coin mentioned in earlier posts. One of the statistical lies in the unemployment rate is that if you are a “discouraged worker” not looking for a job, you aren’t counted in the unemployment calculation.
The broadest view of unemployment U6 - (Total unemployed, plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force, plus total employed part time for economic reasons, as a percent of the civilian labor force plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force) declined from 13.9% in April to 13.8% in May.
