"As I understand it, the reported unemployment rate is the number of new jobless claims. It reports the percentage of people applying for unemployment benefits. Once the benefits have been exhausted and people are no longer getting unemployment, they are no longer reported."


Read that here on SI. Goes to show you can't believe everything you read on SI. Thanks for straightening it out. Sorry for any confusion.

At least the BLS site did say that many people had the same impression I did...maybe that is where the confusion stemmed from.
