It's manipulated through the criteria for being unemployed. Anything can be gamed. I like the more comprehensive figures like Labor Participation or the look at the older unemployment rates that were more comprehensive because they included discouraged, long term unemployed workers. Shadow stats shows what these figures would have been had the BLS continued measuring and reporting them.
