I feel like 8.6% unemployment isn't really that high for the United States. Pre-recession, the natural rate of unemployment here was around 5%. It could be worse.
That's the official rate, which doesn't include people whose UI benefits have run out, that are working part-time because they can't find full-time work, or that have given up looking because they can't find any job. The real unemployment rate is at least double, more like 16% - 18%.
Likely both.
