8. U1-U6
There are 6 indicators of unemployment used by the DoL.
U3 measures those collecting unemployment insurance and is used as the official number. This number is not the actual number of unemployed persons in the US.
The U4-6 numbers reached levels nearing 10% last year, so the Bush cronies at Labor stopped posting the #s at their web site.
After 2002 the U4-6 figures simply read "data not available".
