Don't most unemployed people have an income of 0, or whatever their unemployment checks are?

Yes, but I would propose breaking it down by their level of median annual income over the last 5-10 years. This would give a number, for any given individual, would tend to change gradually over a lifetime and would not be significantly affected by a year or two of unemployment.

This would show how much of the unemployment was affecting only those who were already losing in the employment game.
