aren't they still counted if they're actively looking for work?
That would make sense, wouldnt it? lmao. But typically when there's news reporting on unemployment rates, it's based only on the number of people actually receiving benefits.
More of a predictor than a fact.

Job growth is a tough one too.. How many new jobs are entry level minimum wage with no benefits and high turnover?
And how many lost jobs were long-term high cost employees? Who knows.

Always pretty damn tough to tell the real deal.
