Wrong. Re-read the post. It said, Unemployment Insurance claims are NOT used in the United States. Here's a link and another quote. "Some people think that to get these figures on unemployment the Government uses the number of persons filing claims for unemployment insurance (UI) benefits under State or Federal Government programs. But some people are still jobless when their benefits run out, and many more are not eligible at all or delay or never apply for benefits. So, quite clearly, UI information cannot be used as a source for complete information on the number of unemployed." -BLS bls.gov re: "That's what your previous post said. You just added the part about contacting households, but even if they do that, they are still estimating, and a large part of the estimate comes from UI claims."
