unemployment steady - steadily climbing, that is

Despite claims that unemployment is holding steady, seasonally adjusted "U6" unemployment, which includes "discouraged" workers, has risen from 16.5% to 16.8%.  Last month's raw (unadjusted) U6 was in fact a record high.  Since the adjustments change, I'm still looking for the raw figure from this latest report.

Actual unemployment is not getting better -- chronically unemployed people are just falling off the chart.
