Another question: What’s the point of “seasonally adjusted”? Just because someone is involved in agriculture or another “seasonal” employ, does that make them any less unemployed when they are out of a job?
I think employment goes up and down because seasonal opportunities are part of the total employment which also includes lost/gain opportunities because of other factors such as business cycles and political machinations. The best in honest reporting I think is to just make sure the reports specify the time period of data and not deceive by implying the data apply for the date of the report.
