It shouldn’t be as 1rudeboy’s post 11 is government in a nutshell.

Not sure what that means, exactly. I work in a job where I am not eligible for unemployment benefits. If I lose my job (and look for a new one), I am still in the labor force and unemployed.

If the government wants to massage the unemployment rate number, it can do so . . . spreading fallacies about it serves no purpose.
