What is “unemployment rate”?

There are several definitions, which is why there are several numbers.

Yeah, I just looked it up on Wikipedia, of all places.

Apparently, if you factor in part-time “underemployed”, it’s 14.3% (as of Feb 2013).

Beginning to sound like this is one of those stats you trot out when you’re trying to make the black guy in the White House look bad.
