The real unemployment numbers can vary based on the source and methodology used to calculate them. According to a recent study, the true unemployment rate in the United States is approximately 24.3%, which includes those who are "functionally unemployed". For more traditional measures, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics provides data on the unemployment rate, which is typically lower and reflects only those actively seeking work. For detailed statistics, you can refer to the Bureau of Labor Statistics or the Federal Reserve Economic Data.
