Why would you include those not willing to work under any circumstances in your calculation of the unemployment rate? Your result would be meaningless.

If you had a really lazy society, say 90% of those unwilling to work counted as 'unemployed', even if the 10% of your society that was willing to work was completely employed, your 'unemployment rate' would still be 90%.

The unemployment rate SHOULD only count those who raelly do want a job. Our govt. doesn't count you as 'unemployed' after six month, even if you are desperate for a job.
