Unemployment number has several categories. U3 is what's commonly reported in the news and looks at people who are unemployed and looked in the past 4 weeks. U6 doesn't include that time restriction, includes people who've given up looking either cause they are discouraged or have left the work force but plan to come back at a later date, and includes part time workers who want full time work.
