This is a difficult question, due to the fact that in the late 1970's early '80's the jobless rate statistic's changed from those 'out of work' to only those 'collecting' unemployment.

So the statistics are flawed. You see if your unemployment run's out you are no longer unemployed, according to federal jobless stat's. Obviously when your unemployment runs out you don't magically get a job.

So the 'jobless' rate for January 2011 is down from 9.8% to 9% (which .8% of Americans is 3,875,000) , while job creation was only roughly 34,000 jobs. So you can see it is off.

The best guesstimate of America's unemployment is roughly 18-19%.

Sorry I couldn't be more exact for you

Nationally the jobless rate is about 8-9% of the population, but in some places it is higher. In my area of CA it is 15%, so it can vary from state to state depending on the economic conditions.

The total jobless rate is about 8%, but some areas are higher. My area of central CA is 15% which is twice the national rate. Your area may be the same way.
