” No,the numbers are based on the Census Bureau statistics/interviews,BUT,if you work one hour in the week of the 11th you are counted as employ”

While I agree, there has to be a mechanism to derive unemployment numbers by county. An interview isn’t afforded that opportunity. Your state has databases much like employflorida.com.

The U3 number is TOTAL BS and needs not to be used by EITHER side. Use the REAL unemployment numbe ... the one that still counts the people who have run out of benefits.

You aren’t getting me... the ‘unemployment number’ is derived by interviews.

This is how the ‘unemployment’ figure is derived.

You need to google ‘sampling’ for unemployment figures.
