Um. As someone in the situation, I might say you're focusing on the wrong unemployment rate.

The unemployment rate commonly quoted only counts people who've been looking for work in the past six (I think) months.

There are a *lot* of people who've dropped out of the workforce, quit looking for work, etc. because they've gotten discouraged.

Yeah, but look at the workforce participation rate.
