But if you have thousands of labels that would be tedious.

I think another approach would be to put a blue star on all messages with labels then use:

-has:blue-star is:unread in:inbox

You can apply the star using filters and apply to existing conversations.
Pretty good trick. Thanks for going to the trouble of figuring it out. I will give it a shot tonight.
