If you want me to believe you’re naive and uninformed, so be it.That reminds me, the unemployment rate is not based on people collecting benefits. But you'd know that if you weren't naive and uninformed. LOL!

Unemployment Rate
Percentage of employable people actively seeking work, out of the total number of employable people; determined in a monthly survey by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (website: www.bls.gov).
An unemployment rate of about 4% - 6% is considered “healthy”. Lower rates are seen as inflationary due to the upward pressure on salaries; higher rates threaten a decrease in consumer spending.
There, make you feel better? There are those who feel the procedure for calculating the UER is skewed.
