NOTE: Persons marginally attached to the labor force are those who
currently are neither working nor looking for work but indicate that
they want and are available for a job and have looked for work sometime
in the past 12 months. Discouraged workers, a subset of the marginally
attached, have given a job-market related reason for not currently
looking for work. Persons employed part time for economic reasons are
those who want and are available for full-time work but have had to
settle for a part-time schedule. Updated population controls are
introduced annually with the release of January data.

This is the real rate of unemployed. I wish the government is seeing this number and when they see, they will quickly made some adjustment and solution to make this rate low.
