3. Perhaps tomorrow's job numbers will be of interest - the household
survey - lousy for total employed but good for unemployment rate - will be out

U-1 to U-6 rates will be shown.

U-3 is the rate that the media will sing about.

U-6 is the number you are looking for.

The difference between U-6 and U-3 is an add back of the ones who fell off the rolls w/o finding a job who were not included in U-3.

the ones who fell off the rolls w/o finding a job and who have stopped looking are still not included in U-6. But there may be an estimate of their size tomorrow also.
