Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The U-6 measure of labor underutilization is the total unemployment rate plus all marginally attached workers (those who have looked for work in the past year but not in the past four weeks) and those who are working part-time for economic reasons, as a percentage of the labor force plus marginally attached workers. Therefore, the U-6 measure in Table 28-1 is 9.0 percent.
