So the 7.8% figure counts ALL of the unemployed? LOL all you like but the 7.8% figure is what the media and others use to evaluate the labor market. Right or wrong that is a fact. So if there are millions not counted, my point stands. Get off of your arrogant high horse.

Yes, it counts all those who are looking.

Yes, just as it always has.

Your point was that the 8.8 million unemployed who are not collecting benefits are not counted. If that were the case, the unemployment rate would be close to 2%.

Sorry if pointing out your error makes you sad.
