      Yeah, presuming we want school to be 6-18, it would actually be good if the numbers of unemployed 16-18 y.o. are high? Actually I wonder how it works re people at uni too. 10% of a population not working because they're in some form of education is different than 10% of a population not working because they can't find a job right

      Part-time jobs are still "employment" they include it due to the metric being "people who can work," generally.
