"The rates also don't include people who "gave up searching for a job" and went into business for themselves which after all helps us all to have more people creating wealth."

To not include people that work for themselves or start their own business is understandible, they are technically employed. Those that gave up searching for a job are still technically unemployed. They should be counted.

If you give up, does that mean you don't want a job or you don't want to work. ;-)

If you give up, does that mean that you are employed? No, you are still unemployed.
