You're correct. You're not considered unemployed unless you're actively seeking employment. Sometimes the unemployment rate drops when people give up looking for a job and decide to move back home with parents or go to school or whatever. If the stock market keeps retreating though and john q public gets his september 401K statement around October, it won't be pretty for Bush in November.

Yes, they will blame Bush. BUT those of us who have been playing Wall Street for decades, realize our investments never came with a money back guarantee.
