It was released a couple of weeks ago that if you include those who have given up looking for a job, the figure is around 17%. The unemployment statistic, going back to Carter, always has a time limit (6 months, a year, I forget which). So before you chuckle too much, that number has some validity, given the proper context.
of all papers , even the ny times had it at 17% in an article about 2 weeks ago
