It’s is important to note that the unemployment rate is not a percent of the population that is unemployed. The percentage that you see on TV or the newspaper is the percentage of the population that are looking for jobs and cannot find them. If people that are discouraged or apathetic towards looking for a job were included in the unemployment rate, it would be in the high teens or low twenties. To answer your question, 9% is a historically high unemployment rate and the target area is around 4-5%
The latest report was 8.7%
