I don't have a problem with U3 at all. I have a problem with it being used as the de facto measure of employment health in the media when it tells only a small part of the story for average workers. You typically have to search for U6 yourself, while U3 is reported by the press every month.

Yes if you want to be a well informed citizen you have to mostly ignore the mainstream media and actively seek out alternative sources. That shouldn't be a surprise to anyone here.
