While the national unemployment rate declined from 6.7% in March to 6.3% in April, the rate for total unemployed workers in America, what the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) calls the U-6 Measure, was 12.3% in April.
That 12.3% rate refers to “total unemployed,” says the BLS, and this includes the 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.”
