If someone is unemployed and has given up on finding a job -- if you are out of work and you've stopped looking over the past four weeks -- the Department of Labor doesn't count you as unemployed.
While you are as unemployed as one can possibly be, and may never find a job again, you are not counted in the feel good figure we see in the news -- currently 5.5%.
Right now, as many as 30 million Americans are either out of work or severely underemployed.
