U6 for March 2009

http://stats.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.htm

15.6 U6 and 8.5 U3. Just ugly numbers, we continue to see unemployment increasing without a break. At this pace we will see 10% around June. That will mark a new and more ugly phase. Crossing the point of 10-1 of employed vs unemployed. At this point we begin to strain the system.

thank god I'm not the only one looking at the U-6 numbers...

Psst: for a 10-1 employed-unemployed ratio, we only need to make 9% unemployment... which is coming sooner than we think!

Agree, I using the easy number of 10%, but looking at U6 we are much closer to 5-1
