Here's my own chart of U3 (the 'official' rate), U6 (roughly what U3 was prior to 1970 when it started to be redefined) and even a reconstruction of the old U7 rate which was the most inclusive measure ever used by the BLS. My U7 reconstruction compares to John Williams work, and was inspired by it.

All the data, excluding the U7 rate since 1994, is direct from the BLS. The data used to build the U7 rate since 1994 is direct from the BLS.

When I walk home from work, cutting through the U-District in Seattle, I often pass by a tent community on a parking lot. There are perhaps 100 people living there, maybe more. It has gotten some local press though, mostly when they must find a new "home." Thousands of people drive by this community every day who probably used to think that could never be them, and now they hope it will not be them.
