Do you agree that the unemployment rate published by the gov is a good measure?
I do think it is a good measure, there are more people working now then ever.
The gov calculates it by dividing the number of the unemployed  people by all individuals currently in the labor force.
I do not think there can be a spot on accuracy, I think maybe it is just a round about figure, of course those who have ceased from looking for employment are not counted at all
I agree.  According to ILO, more than 6% of the world workforce were unemployed
Although really that is a pretty low number. I believe we are in much better shape then just a couple of years ago.
I agree.  During recessions, our economy experienced relatively high unemployment but our economy is good now.
