So, if the definitions are understood, what would it take to drop the U-6 curve
back down and cross the U-3 curve... instead of running parallel with it ?
(I assume the U-6's are a more difficult nut to crack because they have been
unemployed longer and used up or lost their career contacts)

It seems to me that cutting off unemployment funding (payments) would cause
the U-6 to rise faster and overtake the SGS, and that would not be a good thing.

All you self centered peasants whine about how tough you have it.
Well Forbes says the 1% are getting squeezed more than you are.

If the U3 are still actively looking for work and are being somewhat successful,
what would it take to get the U6 back in the work force at their proper level ?
