Just the U-3. The others are measures of underutilization, especially the U-4 to U-6 as they include people who are not unemployed, and the U-6 includes many employed in the numerator.
Only the U-3 is official, though all 6 are valuable for looking at different aspects of the labor market.
Shouldn't the actual number of "unemployed" be a better metric?
