<many companies will have policy changes leading up to a layoff which make people voluntarily leave their jobs and those people won't show up to claim unemployment>

Good point..Take for example early retirement offers.

I'm a great believer in the "Keep it Sweet and Simple" concept "KISS" for short.

The unemployment number is an important one. I suggested a simple definition, we have gazzilions of computing power, we could know what that defined number is to a very high degree of accuracy on a daily basis if needed.

However, I think we both can see the issues. We are not in positions to do anything about it though.
