They need to modify the questions on the survey for UI. Add if they are going on SS disability or some other assistance and that’s why they aren’t looking.

They also need to count any aging so-called "students" that are taking out taxpayer-subsidized student loans and living off those while they pursue some worthless degree. At the same time, they're probably using their parents' health insurance up to age 27, so they can "follow their dreams" as Nancy Pelosi said.

Full time students should not be considered ‘unemployed’ no matter the source of their income.

Students loans are just another form of welfare as long as the government is subsidizing them. Along with unemployment we need a number for "non-productive, able-bodied" citizens who are on the dole, be it welfare, food stamps or student loans.

Well look in a mirror on that for a few years.
