joke or not the unemployment has always been counted that way (even when i had to take an econ course as an elective course -- and that's where i found out the way unemployment was calculated). the questions are such that if a person has not been looking for a job for a period of time (i guess in the case you cite four weeks), that person does not figure into the statistics. all that person has to do is say "yes" to the question of whether he has been seeking a job in the past four or less weeks, and he will count in the stats.
