Unemployment rose slightly in January, but a more realistic rate is even higher
Look at this, CNBC suddenly seems to have discovered the U6 number. ;)

Right on cue.

Since I used the U6 number to criticize Obama, I have no problem with it being used now since it is the closest thing to a real number we have, and I believe apples-to-apples is important from a consistency/honesty point of view.
That said, I do have issue with a complicit radical alt-left media that did NOT use the U6 number when discussing unemployment under Obama suddenly using it now to cover unemployment under Trump. It will be incumbent on all the talking heads, as well as Spicer and Trump himself to point out how this represents a change in coverage from the lamestream media, and constantly remind them of the U6 number for Obama, not the fabricated 4.X% BS.

All the reports I read made sure they gave Obama credit for the good numbers. Perhaps that is legitimate; perhaps not. Since December came AFTER the election, and many businesses started hiring again on renewed confidence, I think Trump deserves some credit. But he isn't going to get any credit from the media.

What I take away from the BSNBC report is that they have been lying to us about unemployment for the past 8 years.

The media is so predictable. We all knew this would happen. Next, the real inflation rate will emerge. The GDP growth has been historically low for the past eight years under Obama, but the mainstream media did not complain.
The 1.075 percent average annual growth in real GDP under Obama equals less than a third (31.57 percent) of the 3.405 percent average annual growth in real GDP the United States saw in the last two decades of the last century.
