My question is how many are truely unemployed? Unemployment rates don't include students or unemployed people that have given up searching for a job.

No doubt it is a silly figure but the Dems have staked their futures on this figure. The rates also don't include people who "gave up searching for a job" and went into business for themselves which after all helps us all to have more people creating wealth.

"The rates also don't include people who "gave up searching for a job" and went into business for themselves which after all helps us all to have more people creating wealth."

To not include people that work for themselves or start their own business is understandible, they are technically employed. Those that gave up searching for a job are still technically unemployed. They should be counted.
