Let me see if I understand this. If everyone stopped looking for work and dropped out of the calculation than we would see a 0% unemployment figure? Some one help me out here.

But the government said the total number of jobs employed surged by 873,000, the highest one-month jump in 29 years.
BS!

According to the report, the employment participation rate (num of people working) stayed the same from last month.
But you are right, the way it works, if all adults stop working and don’t look for a new job, except 1 person, it’d be 100% employment and 0% unemployment.
