Um, Slink, unemployment in the US as a whole has just crept up to 6%, 
from near its 55 year average of about 5.6%. 

While I agree bringing home the boys (and girls) would raise it some 
more, most economists would agree that, yes, unemployment is high 
enough, but also that it should not be much lower.

Great site for employment data, BTW:
