U3 v/s U6:
Well noted by @AndreasSteno; while normal Unemployment Rate U3 rose (5.8%=>5.9%), U6 fell (10.2%=>9.8%)

U3 = Total Unemployed / Civilian Labour Force
U6 = (Total Unemployed + marginally attached + employed part time for eco reasons) / CLF

2/5

#U3
5.9% vs 3.5% (Feb'20) vs 14.8% (Apr'20 peak)

#U6
9.8% vs 7.0% (Feb'20) vs 22.9% (Apr'20 peak)

Both are still some distance away from pre-pandemic level but U6 has shown more consistent improvement than Official U3
