The Jobs Market Sucks

These measures, expressed as percentages, are published every month in The Employment Situation news release. They range from a very limited measure that includes only those who have been unemployed for 15 weeks or more to a very broad one that includes total unemployed, all people marginally attached to the labor force, and all individuals employed part time for economic reasons. More information about the alternative measures is available on the BLS website.

How the Government Measures Unemployment
From your own link:

There is only one official definition of unemployment—people who are jobless, actively seeking work, and available to take a job, as discussed above. The official unemployment rate for the nation is the number of unemployed as a percentage of the labor force (the sum of the employed and unemployed).

A perfect example of why CON$ervoFascists are the lowest lying scum ever to crawl upon the face of the Earth!!!
The worthless lying scum edited out what came after the comma, even though I had already posted the whole quote that included those EMPLOYED PT for economic reasons.

The lying :asshole: thinks everyone is as stupid as a CON$ervoFascist and wouldn't know he edited the U-6 description!!!

dear, U in U6 and U3 stands for unemployment!
Six Measures of Unemployment

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics uses six measurements when calculating the unemployment rate. The measures range from U1 - U6 and were reported from 1950 through 2010 . They calculate different aspects of unemployment. The measures are:

From your own link:

U6: the individuals described in U5 plus part-time workers who want to work full-time, but cannot due to economic reasons, primarily underemployment.

too stupid we are asking for someone anyone any where on earth who uses U in u3 and U6 to stand directly for underultlization

Feel stupid yet??
Nice attempt to change subject!!
 
does the liberal feel liberally stupid yet??

In contrast, U-4 through U-6 are progressively broader gauges of unemployment as they
include various subsets of workers marginally attached to the labor force.
• U-4 includes U-3 (total unemployed) plus discouraged workers: those who are willing
and able to work, but have become so discouraged about their prospects for obtaining a
job that they have stopped looking.
• U-5 includes U-4 (total unemployed plus discouraged workers) plus marginally attached
workers: those who want to work and have looked for work, but are not presently in the
workforce due to non-job market reasons. U-6 is the most expansive measure, which
includes U-5 plus those who would like to work full-time, but can only work part-time
due to economic reasons
.
The BLS has found that, generally speaking, all six measures of unemployment tend to move
together over time, including across business cycles. Similarly, states that have high official
unemployment rates (U-3) tend to have high values for the other five measures.
So far every description of the U-6 rate YOU have posted includes people who are WORKING.

A perfect example of why CON$ervoFascists

dear, our conservative founders were the opposite of fascists. Do you have the IQ to understand?
YOU can hardly pass your lying ass off as a founding father!!!! :asshole:

dear if I said I was a founding father I'll pay you $10,000. Bet or run away once again with your liberal strawman tail between you legs.
I said YOU were a worthless lying CON$ervoFascist, and you countered with a founders reference, clearly implying that as a founder you could not possibly be the lying Fascist you are, otherwise the founders reference makes no sense, except to a complete moron.

Admit you are a complete moron or pay $10,000 :asshole:
 
too stupid I gave you 10 different organizations saying u is for unemployment. PLease give me one just one, you perfect idiot liberal, saying u is for underutilization.
Yes, you are too stupid. What you failed to do was to cite the one and only source which defined the term -- and they don't call it an unemployment rate. And why would they, Crazy Eddie? The U-6 rate includes employed people.
 
A much broader BLS definition of unemployment called U-6 adjusts for two of these factors. As the BLS notes, U-6 is the "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."

What s the best way to measure unemployment - CBS News

feeling stupid and liberal yet??
There it is again, U-6 includes people who are working in an, according to you, UNEMPLOYMENT rate.
 
No, it stands for UNDERutilization.

See why we say a CON$ervoFascist is a moron!

As far as the 'U', didn't you look at the title of the chart you posted those from?


too stupid how did you conclude u stands for underutilization when no one else did??
It's the title of the chart, ya moron.


:eusa_doh::eusa_doh::eusa_doh:

too stupid we are not asking for title of chart but rather someone anyone on earth who uses U in u3 and U6 to stand directly for underultlization

Feel stupid yet??
Not as stupid as you look. It's not just the title, Crazy Eddie. It the BLS's table of 'Alternative measures of labor underutilization' ... And the measures are listed in the table in the column labeled, 'Measure.' Those measures are U-1, U-2, U-3, U-4, U-5, and U-6.
 
I said YOU were a worthless lying CON$ervoFascist,,
dear,
1) saying that the U in U3 and U6 stands for unemployment is not a lie, it is truth
2) even if it was not true it would not be a lie
3) it is perfectly stupid to link conservative and fascist since they are opposites while liberals spied for Hitler and Stalin because they are not opposites

Why not show some character and pride?

If you had any character, you wouldn't have to lie like that, Crazy Eddie. You claim I gave you zero examples of the 'U' being referenced as 'underutilization,' when in fact, I gave you one. Not only did I give you one, I gave you thee one. The only one that matters -- the one from the BLS, the organization which defines those measures. And they define them as measures of underutilization.

:dance:
 
CON$ have always and will always be Fascists.

dear, liberals support Obamacare, not conservatives. Do you understand that Obamacare merges govt and business very closely. Conservatives and libertarians support the opposite, i.e, total separation so business suceedes or fails based on the quality and price of its prodycts, not the quality of its corrupting ties with govt.

Do you understand now?

Not since Reagan propped up Chrysler.....
 
CON$ were the willing useful idiots of Hitler and Stalin supplying them with the means to produce their weapons.

of course that would be impossible since conservatives and libertarians oppose big govts. Did you notice they want to cut taxes impose debt ceilings sign the pledge etc and have Balanced Budget Amendments all of which are opposite of what liberals want.

Liberals spied for Stalin and support Obama and Sanders

See why we have to be 100% certain that a liberal will be stupid??

dear,

1) its stupid to say conservatives are fascists since conservatives like our founders believed in limited govt while fascists beleive in the opposite

2) if some conservative don't do conservative things then they really are not conservatives are they?? Or, if Obama is a liberal but supports free trade unlike most liberals that merely means he is not liberal on that issue but over all is still a liberal. Do you understand?
