"truly unemployed" I dunno but it occurs to me that if I went to my wife and said "honey, it's just no use, I'm not looking any more" I'd soon be out of a house and a marriage.
Does anybody who really needs a job just "give up" and start living under a bridge?
Occurs to me that the "given up" is a canard created by the commies every election time. Speaking of which go find out the unemployment number during Clinton's second term election and ask yourself why the sky wasn't falling then?
The answer is obvious, to the commies that control the media the sky is always falling when a republican is running for re-election (think Reagan and the only jobs being created were "burger flipping" jobs).
If you listen to commies you'll end up with commie lies.

I am not saying the sky is falling, I am glad that the jobs are being created. However, I think that all people able to work should be counted. If you have your own business, you are counted as employed. If you are in school with no job, you are unemployed. It is not that hard to put these numbers out there. They can even say that x% of the unemployed are students, that would give people an honest rate. Are they afraid to have the true numbers released?

I don't know about living under a bridge, but I quit looking and went back to school after being laid off last April.
