Yup, I did. Under Obama the U3 was going down while the U6 was rising. Just recently, the U6 number has started to fall as well. Not enough data yet to suggest a trend. However, if it continues, that would certainly underscore the point that was being made during the Obama years: the reduction of the U3 and the rise of the U6 were related. More folks than just Trump were making this point. In fact, the point was being made before Trump started to repeat it.
Of course, as always you're full of shit. Somehow, your twisted mind tells you that the economic woes brought on by events that took place before Obama was elected (the market crash in year eight of Dubya) were somehow Obama's fault. We're basically returning to the mean after the cataclysm of Dubya's economic stewardship which was largely corrected by Obama's policies and are now being threatened by the Lying Dotard's trade policy.
