>> How do they measure unemployment? The department of labor conducts a telephone survey of approx 5000 households in the US. The ask if any member of the household was unemployed and actively, unsuccessfully, sought work during the week (or maybe month). Then the data is extrapolated and adjusted for seasonality, holidays, etc.... There is also a count of the people who are actually drawing unemployment compensation. But as you said that does not include all unemployed people. more detail here bls.gov and here dol.gov
