Ish,
I think the unemployment numbers are also being cooked now a days (not taking aim at either this administration or previous one). Over a period of time they stopped taking into consideration certain segments of population in their unemployment numbers (or maybe this was always the case but that segment's population might have gone up lately).
One example of such segment is prison population. So in real terms the unemployment is higher over the last few years (boom times included) than is actually put out by feds.
