Re: Looking at the current numbers, ... (4.00 / 2)

U-6 in November 2004 (year he's referring to) was 9.1%.

Do they recalculate the Labour Force as denominator (including the extra U-6 categories) or use the (LF = employed + U-3 unemployed) as denominator?

Yes, they recalculate ... (none / 1)

... that's what "as a percent of the civilian labor force plus all marginally attached workers" means ... U3 is ""as a percent of the civilian labor force".

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
