It’s like reading the old Pravda. You know it’s nothing but BS.
Correct. And these days Pravda is more reliable than anything coming out of the 0bama propaganda ministry.
In a nutshell, heres how the BLS is counting the unemployed:
QUESTION: Are you employed?
Answer: No
QUESTION: Are you actively looking for a job?
Answer Yes.
Questioner counts the interviewee as among the unemployed.
Next....
QUESTION: Are you employed?
Answer: No
QUESTION: Are you actively looking for a job?
Answer No.
Questioner puts the interviewee in a different category and BLS DOES NOT include him in the official unemployment rate.
Regardless of what it is, if you dont have a job, you dont have a job, whether the BLS counts you or not.
