Unemployment rates are a fudged statistic - they usually only record the number of people who are actively collecting unemployment, or who have become unemployed within a specific time frame. Someone who has never held a job, or who hasn't held an "on-the-books" job in years (or ever), or who's on things like disability or have other exemption status situations, generally won't count towards the unemployment number. In the same vein, people who are considered "officially retired" or "too young to work" won't count towards it either. In the US, I believe the operational definition of "unemployment" for purposes of measuring the unemployment rate actually has to involve someone over the age of 18 who has actively looked for a job within the last month or is currently collecting unemployment benefits. Once unemployment benefits run out you tend to fall off the grid, and drop out of the numbers. Ico is basically a non-person, statistically. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ... Copied to Clipboard! |
