No one KNOWS for certain. The Bureau of Labor Stats estimates from a carefully designed multi-part national survey that just short of 10% of the 153 million folks in the IUS workforce are "unemployed". That means one thing - seeking work but not paid to work this week.

There are another 150 million US residents not working, but they are outside the workforce: retirees, children, inmates, active military, disabled, housewives, and former workers not seeking employment.
The percent unemployed refers to the percent of workers unemployed, and does not include children and others not considered a part f the work force.
