Out of that thirty million people, how many of them are both employable and actively looking for work? How many of them do not need to work because they are supported by their spouses? How many of them are students? How many of them are just unable to work? My best friend hasn't worked in over twenty years but I wouldn't consider him unemployed. My mother was a stay at home mom, never worked, but she was never "unemployed" - she just didn't need to work. My other brother just opened up a new business. Technically he is unemployed - he has yet to pull a paycheck from his new business. His wife supports him.
Thirty million people are "out of work". But a fair percentage of those people are not looking for work because they do not need to work.

You understand other states have other rules, right? He lives in Oregon, and you can collect unemployment for 99 weeks. (I looked it up for ya.)

Can you not do math?
Last month we added 295k jobs. Multiple that by 12 months and..... Over three million jobs created. However, that is only using one month as an example. Last November we added 423k jobs. If you want an exact total, in the past year we have created 3,202,000 jobs.
