Unemployment Rate 5.5%

I'm going to have to re-take my statistics and economics classes, because I just can't understand how it works that the unemployment rate drops when no one is working.

Well, the first question to ask is this — WHO DO THEY CONSIDER UNEMPLOYED?

We already know that those who are not looking or have given up looking for a job are NOT considered in the unemployment rate, so there’s one issue right there.

You and your statistics & economics classes are just fine, it’s common core math that isn’t so good.

I’d go with Algebra, first.
