Dig through the data. I'm pretty sure it's all in the stats somewhere. What do you want to know? The number of employed? That's there. The ratio of employed to population? Also there. The number of people considered outside the job market? That's there. Historical data for these things? Also there.

It's easy to calculate unemployment during normal times when it's around 4%. It's very difficult to calculate it during a massive crisis, when it's spiked to over 10% in a year.

So, can you trust it? The question is: trust it for what? And compared to what?
