So long as the calculations are based on a false premise, it is just another meaningless number. Call them out on the REAL unemployment number.

Absolutely!
Problem I have is that there are so many different numbers to choose from

Old standard of calculation - the different (U) classifications - factoring and applying the shrinking work force.....
there's a ton of different ways to say that the Administrations way of figuring it is wrong - but in doing so 'we all" use different ways to say it's higher....

"We all" need to be on the same page, question is....what figure can we ALL agree to use when saying Ø's numbers are Bogus?

I think the unemployment should be calculated from two numbers. Estimated population between 18-65, and number of SS payments to the government.
