'Who is reporting 12%?'
The rate depends on the source. The USDL figures come from unemployment insurance claims, but if you're no longer eligible for benefits you're not counted as unemployed. The actual number of unemployed is usually considered as twice the USDL figure, but some sources consider the 'unemployable', such as those on disability or homeless, as well.
