> European countries, by contrast, have mostly not changed their definitions of unemployment since
The US has not changed the definitions of the six different levels of unemployment.
25 years ago, the BLS changed the headline statistic that they lead with from U5 to U3, in order to provide an apples-to-apples comparison with what the UN measures. That change was 14 years before 2008, and the BLS still publishes all six.
