Oh and, since you like to hide from it:

U-6 Total unemployed, plus all persons marginally attached to the labor
force, plus total employed part time for economic reasons, as a percent
of the civilian labor force plus all persons marginally attached to the
labor force
16.2 14.4 15.4 15.1 14.7 14.5 14.4 14.4 14.4
NOTE: Persons marginally attached to the labor force are those who
currently are neither working nor looking for work but indicate that
they want and are available for a job and have looked for work sometime
in the past 12 months. Discouraged workers, a subset of the marginally
attached, have given a job-market related reason for not currently
looking for work. Persons employed part time for economic reasons are
those who want and are available for full-time work but have had to
settle for a part-time schedule. Updated population controls are
introduced annually with the release of January data.

Household Survey Data
The number of unemployed persons, at 12.3 million, was little changed in
January. The
unemployment rate was 7.9 percent and has been at or near that level
since September 2012.
(See table A-1.) (See the note and tables B and C for information about
annual population
adjustments to the household survey estimates.)
Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rates for adult men (7.3
percent), adult
women (7.3 percent), teenagers (23.4 percent), whites (7.0 percent),
blacks (13.8 percent),
and Hispanics (9.7 percent) showed little or no change in January. The
jobless rate for
Asians was 6.5 percent (not seasonally adjusted), little changed from a
year earlier.
(See tables A-1, A-2, and A-3.)
In January, the number of long-term unemployed (those jobless for 27
weeks or more) was
about unchanged at 4.7 million and accounted for 38.1 percent of the
unemployed. (See
table A-12.)
Both the employment-population ratio (58.6 percent) and the civilian
labor force
participation rate (63.6 percent) were unchanged in January. (See table
A-1.)
The number of persons employed part time for economic reasons, at 8.0
million, changed
little in January. These individuals were working part time because
their hours had been
cut back or because they were unable to find a full-time job. (See table
A-8.)
In January, 2.4 million persons were marginally attached to the labor
force, down by
366,000 from a year earlier. (The data are not seasonally adjusted.)
These individuals
were not in the labor force, wanted and were available for work, and had
looked for a
job sometime in the prior 12 months. They were not counted as unemployed
because they had
not searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey. (See table A-16.)
Among the marginally attached, there were 804,000 discouraged workers in
January, a decline
of 255,000 from a year earlier. (The data are not seasonally adjusted.)
Discouraged workers
are persons not currently looking for work because they believe no jobs
are available for
them. The remaining 1.6 million persons marginally attached to the labor
force in January
had not searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey for
reasons such as school
attendance or family responsibilities. (See table A-16.)
