        No but really, you're not part of the unemployment figure unless you're seeking work with the help of the state, I think.

          Yeah you're right, unemployment doesn't include those not actively looking for work, per the Bureau of Labor Statistics:

          People are classified as unemployed if they do not have a job, have actively looked for work in the prior 4 weeks, and are currently available for work.

              Kinda cool how there are like 10 different measurements for all these things and they just choose the one that makes their ideology work.

              Like literacy rates in America are worryingly low if you use international standards
