  Here's a good link: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t15.htm https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t15.htm My understanding is that u3 is what is typically reported, but that u6 is a more full picture (it includes people who are working age but discouraged and withdrawn from the workforce).

  Let's say the economy is your Github repo. And unemployment is open issues. But there are too many open issues so you set up a bot to automatically close stale issues. So if you ignore something long enough, it goes away. Nice. U3 (the official unemployment rate) excludes people who have been unemployed too long, that is "stale" or "discouraged workers".
