Ed Lazear, Chair, CEA 2006-9, 11/6/15 This Is the Real Unemployment Rate, Wash Post: "We have come back considerably from the depths of the recession that began almost eight years ago. Unfortunately, we still have a way to go. Given conditions that are consistent with an unemployment well above 6 percent -- and not a 5 percent unemployment rate -- it is no surprise that many in this economy still feel that we are not firing on all cylinders."
