The Real Unemployment Rate

The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes various measures of unemployment. One is called U6 which includes unemployed workers, part time workers who want to work full time, and discouraged workers who gave up looking. This is referred to as the Real Unemployment Rate.
US = 16.8%
MA = 15.3%
